challenge -- met
technical -- nice focus on the main part of the photo. i like how the stem is blurred, but still visible. it gives the sense that the dried flower is 'sticking out' of the photo. flower is just a tad to dark in the center for my personal preference.
composition -- i'm wondering how this would look in a portrait format. as it is, the flower looks a little cramped at the top.

nice DOF, but too tightly cropped on the top.

Hmmm... a dead flower... interesting... I would normally not care much for this photo, but this one is actually well executed. I think it could stand a tad more sharpness possibly, but overall, this is good work... keep it up :) - setzler

I like how the background is blurred out, but not so busy as to be distracting. It only adds to the detail of the flower.

Interesting approach to the flower macro!!! I really like the depth of field (or lack thereof) in this shot. Since the colors are so muted, did you try it in black and white? karmat
