Greetings from the Critique Club

Well, it's always nice to get an image to critique that is well done. I get to look at a good piece and get to say nice things.

It's beautifully composed in the frame, and the monotone treatment gives it the austerity you undoubtedly were trying for. The beautifully blurred background acts as a nice foil to the starkness of the main attraction. If it was mine, I'd probably try to get all the stem sharp. But I don't know if that would be an 'improvement'; just different.

In any event you have a nice image here and your score wasn't that crappy.

Thank you for putting it in despite what you expected it to score (and it ended up not doing too badly at all - check that commenter score!) Excellent. Very nice processing, too - thanks for sharing the details.

Oh my goodness. I thought this would be top ten for sure and probably even a ribbon. Definitely one of my top picks.
