Excellent use of a pastel mix. I like the detail in the wood points on the pencils.

This is really nice but the background (lilac paper with creases) is very distracting.

Focus just a little off...I imagine it's pretty hard to get that bee to keep still...absolutely perfect use of rule of thirds...thanks for that...9

I think this would be better without the bee; the flower itself is quite lovely.

Comment by Budya:
I would have like to see the bee in focus, rather than the plant. I would have also liked to see a blurrier background so that the eyes are drawn to the flower and the bee (maybe a tighter crop would have made this photo stronger). I do like the colors and how yellow stands out.

I find the bee out of focuse damaging the composition integrity. It would be a nice flower shot without the be.

Hi from the Critique Club!

Lighting:

The natural lighting seems to fill the place nicley, the exposure caught this light well. I don't see any overexposures that are sometimes common with natural lighting. This image does need some contrast in my opinion, but I am not sure that would help too much with the blandness of the grass. Which leads me on to...

Composition:

The grass seems to be over-bearing for this picture. It fills up most of the frame wildly, with no particular notion to a study. The image seems flat to me with the flat on angle.

Focus: Your image foreground seems to be in focus with a DOF to the bg.

Keep in mind this is just my two cents and I def want to keep encouraging you to take lots and lots of pictures.

Good luck in the future!

:)
