Deb, check out the commenter scores. Now I didn't vote, so it could have even gone up. I know it's not been appreciated as well as it might, but to me it is still a fabulous image and should have scored much higher.

Very British seaside scene. And for the record, it's a windbreaker. I think the name is self explanatory. :) Very often located on the beach in the UK as it is known to get quite windy from time to time.

Oh there is so much about this that I like. Starting off with the B&W conversion and the vignette. The image itself is so simple and yet... Great stuff.

First Impression: Good looking bunch of preserved flowers that have retained their colour well. Fits the challenge well.

Composition The flowers are well placed in the frame, although I personally agree with Jutilda that the ribbon is maybe unnecessary. I know the black ribbon helps put the flowers into context, but I think the flowers could stand on their own.

I like the muted tones, the colours do work well for this image.

Overall I think this was a rather low score and in my opinion it was worth more than 5.37. So I am sorry for that.

Greetings from the Critique Club

First of all let me congratulate you on a good score on your first challenge submission!

As far as fitting the challenge, I think it was definitely a little bit different and so likely scored well due to that.

I like the composition and find the extra rock gives the image some context, but I think it may be interesting to see it without too.

From a technical point of view, I find the main subject to be a bit soft. It looks to me like it has been quite heavily cropped. Not in itself a big problem, but typically the sharper an image is, the better it will do on DPC.

Overall a good first challenge entry.
