I really like the perspective, but the flash seems pretty hot. It gives that over-lit appearance.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

First let me say I find it a bit intimidating to critique a shot of yours, but hey, you asked for it! Though I'm not entirely sure why you asked for a Critique Club comment... :-)

Definitely met the challenge, and did so very well. For color on color you did a great job matching the color of the flower to the background (I love the explanation of how you did that), and lighting it all so that the petals do nearly blend, as some of the commenters mentioned.

Composition is nicely balanced, despite not quite being rule of thirds and the center of the flower not quite on the center line. Just goes to show that when done well, rules are made to be at least stretched a bit. The two things that make this work, in my opinion, are the green center of the flower and the stem.

I commented on a similar shot from this challenge with "too much yellow". This just barely stays under that tipping point for me - almost too much yellow, but not quite. A well planned, well executed image.

I miss my soccer days... I ove the stop motion and concentration on the boys face, my only suggestion would have been to try and get shot of the boy facing the other direction so the light was on his face.
