ericwooComment by KiwiChris: Greetings from the Critique club.
My first visit to the critique club for ages, and I get this. Just my luck. :-)
This is really solid, it portrays your title and is well executed. Execution is excelent with no focus/exposure issues.
From an asthetic point of view the area of light at the bottom of the bottle I think is slightly too hot, and my eyes linger there for too long.
When I first viewed the image I followed the light path down into the bottom of the bottle and totally bypassed the dead flower, missing what I think is the central character.
If that could be slightly darker I think it'd improve the impact of the image slightly.
I'm also feeling that a different crop, or a bit more 'drift' of the soul of the flower to give a slightly more diagonal lead-in to the image might be more compelling, but without seeing it I'm not sure.
Possibly a square crop instead? Same height, pad it out more to the right?
Difficult to find anything else to say about this one.
Nice work.
