Greetings from the Critique Club

Hello! Congratulations on your nice placement in the Flower challenge. This is, of course, a striking image, and immediately engendered strong emotions from your commentors.

Technically, and compositionally, in my opinion, it's just fine. sure it's bold and the colors almost hurt, but that's what you wanted and that's what you achieved. I very much like the way you made the stems cross on the two lilies. That added an extra thoughtful touch to the image.

I will point out that the lighting on the lavender background is very slightly uneven (but you knew that) and the flowers have a slight indication of oversharpening, at least on my monitor. But those are pickings of nits, and just something to do to keep my fingers occupied while on the keyboard.

In any event, nice image, and I'm very pleased to have the chance to examine it more closely.

Keep up the good work.

Alice

Nooooo.... this is very unclear to me what is being depicted. It may well be stationery, and it is very clear and colorful, but it looks more like a TV station "Off the Air" pattern!!!

Carl - great finish in a very tough challenge, and a new pic on your top row, too! Very unique and lovely presentation - and in reading your notes, took a lot of work, too.
