Spring Flower in Woodsby
kandyjComment by Silver Fox: Greetings from Critique Club: Silver Fox
I'm doing a critique on the flower, not on the Leading Lines Challenge as I do not believe that this fit the challenge.
Personally, I love flower photos and the more natural, the better, such as the one you've captured here. I think perhaps that you should have looked for one that you could have "shot" from above rather from below, as the whiteness of the sky has sort of blown the flower away from the person looking at it.
You've captured the yellow nicely, but I would like to have seen some of the greenery around it at the same time.
The focus and lighting are good, but I notice that you've cropped off a piece of the top petal, was this on purpose? or were you just going to large with it?
What you have to remember sometimes is that BIGGER is not always best,sometimes keeping your photograph smaller and bringing in some of the background would enhance your flower with some visual impact, but only you can decide what is best. There really isn't an aspect of this flower photo that makes it stand out and shout "look at me", but at least you tried, and you entered it in the Challenge, so please keep on shooting and keep on trying your best to become better at what you're doing. . .
Sincerely, Silver Fox
