Lovely photo of a flower, but the lighting seems a bit harsh to me. Maybe more diffused light would help? I dunno. Still, I like it.

Not a bad shot, doesn't have much of an interest point though.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: I do agree with Rebecca that the highlights are a bit blown. However, I do like the movement that you created with the background. I think that this was a very creative idea.

Lighting: Just a touch too harsh. If this had been toned down just a little, I think that the voters would have been more fond of it.

Composition/Content: I also think that your composition needed some work. While I am no stickler for the 'rules of photography,' I think that the centering did not work very well for this one.

My Opinion: You absolutely met the challenge, and did so in a very creative manner. I just don't think that it was what the majority of the voters had in mind for the challenge. Even still, I like it, and with some minor lighting and composition changes, I think that it would have pulled a better score.

I'm totally supporting the pose you decided to go with. Althought it made the shot unconventional, and maybe not as appealing to the majority of voters, it also did a good job in showing a feline nature, not just a woman playing dressup (as I feel looking in the camera would have shown more of). Congrats for sticking to what you think is best and thanks for sharing this image with us.

the contrast could be upped here for better separation of the tulip.

Heh, I'm a little surprised at the age of the shooter here... Not so much that she would think of taking this or that she would do such an amazing job of it, but more that she would be aware of such curious items that mum owns...

I wouldn't be surprised if Dr Jones came by and gave a little nod...
