Very nice tone on those petals & perfect framing!

The composition of this is great. At first glance, I didn't like it, I think, because it looks messy (dirty bug, and the maybe the seams of the flower and off-white color of it). On second glance, I noticed the composure, and the wonderful DOF w/ the bending flower in the background. I wonder if the impact would've been greater without the bug.

That bee sure is nice and sharp. Great detail you captured on that bee.

I would have preferred a much tighter crop.. No need to show dof when it doesn't add to your subject.. IMHO. 8-)

A lifting kind of image with its lightness and delicate subject so expertly presented. Congratulations on your top 20.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: This is one of the better dandelion captures that I have seen in some time now. This one is nicely focused, yet very comfortably sharp at the same time. Great colors and wonderful detail.

Lighting: You did a fantastic job lighting a fairly difficult subject. The whites seem near-perfectly exposed, while you also captured nice detail in the dark center of the bloom.

Composition/Content: While this would not have been a personal choice for an album cover, you did a very nice job putting this image together with a clever title.

My Opinion: Nice work meeting the challenge, and congrats on yet another top 20 finish.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric
