::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
Wow, no comments? How'd that happen? It's a nice stock flower shot, but doesn't have anything to draw the voter to the top end of the scale.

Composition:
I hate to say it, but the composition is boring. Half the frame is flower, half background. It just doesn't have anything that grabs your eye.

Subject:
Subject is clear and in focus. DoF works well here.

Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Focus looks good. Color may be a bit over-saturated, but looks good. Lighting seems a bit on the harsh side for a flower shot.

To grow its vote?:
Stay away from the flowers ;-) Really, I think DPC is going through an anti-flower stage, This image should have at least scored in the 5+ range.

Summary:
Flower shots are pretty, but making one that really slaps a voter in the face and makes them want to give it a high score is hard. Flower shots are like opinions, everyone has one, so they are hard to pass off.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy
