this is quite a unique "flower" shot. i'm assuming the dandelion is back lit. i like the effect it creates and the focus seems good, too. crop might be a bit too tight. 7.

Hello, Greetings from the Critique Club.
As requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission. Please keep in mind this is a personal opinion.

Hello JP!

First Impression - the most important one:
Different! Strange colors. Weird water at the bottom. Hmm. Interesting!

Composition:
The composition looks great. My eyes follow the lines and capture a lot of details in the photo.

Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Focus: Focus is ok.
Color: The colors look surreal, especially the contrast between the orange bricks and the deep / dark blue sky & clouds. And the color in the water.
Light: It looks like you've used a major-fill-light to light up the building. Weird, huh!

I just can't get my head with the how and the why you did it. Some details of the post-processing might be very interesting.
Overall, after looking at your image for a long time, I still can't tell what to think about it. And I think that's good :)

I hope you've found this critique helpful. Good luck with future challenges!

Very nice image. Nice effect, well lit. I also like the use of complete darkness to emphasize the focal point.

Sweet picture, great color contrast between the orange/red of the building and the dark blue of the sky.

Cool shot man! Is that from the bridge on Michigan ave? I like the processing you did. Suits the image and gives it a majestic, surreal feeling. Nice job :-)
