Hi! I already commented on this during the challenge, so it will be kind of strange giving it an in-depth critique! LOL!
LIGHTING: Using natural sunlight was really the only way to go with this picture. Obviously, it was very overcast and "white" out that day, so the sky didn't help much! There's not much you could do about that! I might have moved a standard flourescent out to cast more of a yellow glow from the bottom up on the plant
CHALLENGE: I have an opinion on the Yellow challenge, and you can agree or disagree! I think yellow is usually associated with warmth, security, and happiness. There were some awesome entries, but if you go through the scores, you'll notice that anything that had to do with cold, negativity, or abstract thinking didn't do well. The top photos signified warmth. I think that's the only reason this didn't do better. I also think it would have done better in another challenge. When you photograph colors, you might want to keep in mind what the color signifies in our minds, and stick with that theme. (Just my own personal ideas)
TECHNICAL: I think everything here was set just fine. It is slightly washed and flat, so maybe increasing your depth of field would help a bit.
OVERALL: I think this is a creative, fun idea! The pot is gorgeous,and you definitely captured the "bleakness" of the day. Very original and well done!
