Comment by PaulMdx:
Composition: Flowers are excellent. Would have preferred slightly more cat?! Having a cat myself, I appreciate the problems!
Technical: Nice use of colour and contrast. Bold decision to use the high sharpening, but it really suits the pic. Might have thickened the white border slightly and got rid of the very thin black border.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Lovely photo lacking only in animal cooperation! 7

The image is very cool, although with all the space left in the middle of the photo, it becomes very disturbing to the eye.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Miss Parker :)

I see some occasional signs like this in my own community. They are usually wrapped up like this when they are new and not actually in use yet. The city road crew usually does this to alert the drivers that there is a new sign coming and to make people aware of it before it actually comes into use.

I like your choice of a shallow depth of field on this photo in order to help isloate your subject against the background. I only see one comment in your comments that suggests more depth of field, and I heartily diasgree with that.

To improve the overall impact of this photo, I believe that showing a little more of the sign post would have been a good idea. Your "lollipop" concept may be slightly weakened by not having more of the 'stick' visible :)

The 717 is a great camera... Keep up the good work!

Cute idea. I really like the one piece partially lifted out. Just that added little something that makes it different from all the others. Good job. Really nice photo
