Poppy Popping Through the Grapevine Wreath

Greetings from the critique club.

I like the complementary colors and the nice framing.

What's holding this back is how busy it appears. The poppy does not stand out from the leaves, thus not creating enough impact.

Hope this helps. Good luck in the future.

A bit too much photoshop abuse and blown out. Also it's an uninspired subject.

This green on the cookies is too bright

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Great focus, but there is a yellow hue beyond just the yellow of the submarine. It is more strong at the bottom of the frame.

Lighting: You did a nice job with exposure control here, but the shadow at the bottom left of the frame is a bit distracting.

Composition/Content: I think the cropping is just a bit too tight. You need just a little more space between the submarine and the left side of the frame.

My Opinion: Wonderful job meeting the challenge. Coming across a yellow submarine was a great find. With a few slight adjustments, this one surely would have pulled a much better score.

I was wondering how someone managed to find a submarine! I like how you used the foliage to frame it and the angle you choosed to shoot from. Seems to be a bit on the bright side.
