This is beautiful. I'm going to have to disagree with Andrewt and say that the reason why this is so perfect is *because* it's not oversaturated! The partial desat makes this image, in my opinion. It says "autumn" mush more than a colorful image would!

Wonderful reflections , I am not sure how the actual scene looked like , but a touch more saturation I feel would put more punch into the shot , 7

Great fall colors and sharp detail in those leaves.

Greetings from the Critique Club

I thought this was a very striking image when I was voting on the HDR challenge. So much so, I gave it quite a high score, even though I'm not sure HDR really works that well for flowers.

I think the centered composition worked very well for this image and the white against the black background was excellent.

As one of the purposes of using HDR is to bring out the details in the shadows and highlights, I think it would have been nice to see a bit more detail in the centre of the flower, however that is a minor nit pick.

Overall very well done image. I suppose the main reasons it didn't score higher is a) it's a flower and quite often these are not appreciated on DPC b) some people did not think it was HDR.

Good flower. Excellent choice of symmetrical composition for this subject. Detail lost in shadows. Not sure HDR benefitted this image.
