Comment by jmsetzler:
interesting concept... I think a darker background like blue or purple would contrast with the egg nicely :) - setzler

Very unique photo. But something seems missing. iT doesnt make for a very good image. The main object needs to be focused on in the middle because you have a lot of empty space that takes away from the image.

I love the shadowing on this photo. You did an amazing job! It seems like it needs a brighter center for some reason, otherwise it looks fabulous!

Great subject, and wonderful composition. Not as clear as it could be...sort of muted. Also some spots on the bg. This can be remedied with software.

COMPOSITION
The composition of this is helped by having three distinct "bands" of color (undergrowth, trunks, greenery), and having an anchor on the left side of the shot. I think you may have been able to crop the sky out, since it is colorless and bland, and helped the overall effectiveness of the picture.

TECHNIQUE
Good focus and use of lighting. The colors in this are very nice as well. The blue of the jacket really jumps out and grabs the viewer's attention. It seems a little pixelated/grainy to me, but that could very well be my monitor (I'm at work), and not your picture.

OVERALL EFFECT
I believe you have met the challenge well. The person is not an obvious part of the picture, but is visible since the blue is so noticeable. Perhaps if they had been wearing a tan or green jacket, they would have been better hidden (but maybe too much so!) Also, it might have been a neat idea (just a different one, not necessarily a better on) if they had been peeking out around a tree instead of standing by it.

Good work, and good luck in the future.

One or two more f-stop and the colour will be brighter. The yellow petals looks dull. Good composition but focus is a little soft.

The center of the flower seems a bit out of focus. Also, it looks as though you were trying to create contrast with foreground and background. Shadows hurt the attempt. Try lighting this more directly and shooting it again.
