Interesting catch. The main subject is nice and sharp. But you have some very overexposed areas which distract from the main subject. Overexposed means, you need shorter time to balance the background a bit and maybe use a fill flash for the foreground.

I would be affraid to go near it. It looks quite spooky. Again, not bad for your second challenge. Keep shooting. You'll get there.

Welcome to DPC.

Hey Christine, not bad! 49th out of 256. Was this hand-held or was it on a tripod? You could achieve even greater sharpness if you steady your camera on something sturdy (doesn't need to be a tripod). Macros, because they are so close to the lens, they really show the handshake blur.

Also, if you can, increase your apperture to have greater depth of field so the frame would be in sharp focus as well. Overall it's a nice photo. The colours are natural and pleasing.

You are going to learn a lot here if you stick to it. I've learned my best stuff from here. It's also great for ideas.

'Forground framing background' isn't exactly true in your photo, but I'm not such a strict person myself so I like it anyway, specially the colours.

Beautiful, the way the flowers partially escape from the frame.
