Beautiful sunset. I'd have made everything other than a sky a complete silhouette though, and spot edited out those lights. NeatImage would have helped the slight noise levels as well.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Mona...

Good rule of thumb: If you ask for an in depth critique, you should be willing to include your own comments with your photo when you submit it. Does this photo not have any meaning or interest to you personally? If not, it's not worth asking for an in depth critique. You have to care about it before you should ask someone else to do the same :)

I think you have a nice angle and composition on this flower bud. The water droplets look very pleasing and the diagonal orientation works well here.

The image is displaying a lot of noise in the background. Based on your exposure information, it's probably not from a bad exposure. It may be cropped out of a larger image or something... maybe sharpening artifacts?

Keep up the good work.
