Critique Club:

Hi Joy I get to critique you again :-) This was a very good idea for the pi challenge and it is exactly what I had in mind when I first saw the challenge subject. I bought myself a compass and started writing all kinds of formulas on paper and drawing circles etc., but nothing turned out the way I wanted it too.

Composition: Simple and effective. As you've already read in the comments below, the problem here is the border. It is a little too wide, and the color clashes with the rest of the photo, in my opinion this image would have been better without the border completely. The crop is a little too tight, I think cropping out the bottom of the paper pad wasn't necessary as the half cut "4" looks a little strange.

All in all: This is a simple photo which doesn't possess that "wow" effect. The colors are very good and complement each other (excluding the border), the lighting is optimal and everything is in focus.

Good luck in future challenges and happy Easter.

Gary

Beautiful aubject, like the composition and focus. I'd recommend a very dark or black border here -- I think it will help the image "pop off the page" more effectively than the lighter one you've used here.

I like your picture a lot -- but for me, the color of the frame detracts from it a little bit. Actually, I'm not sure if it's the color of the frame or the frame itself, but I think the contrast of the yellow flower and bright blue sky would be much stronger without the frame.

Not a very attractive photo. The combination of colours here alone is nasty. Black, yellow and brown!! The composition and lighting need a lot of work, and the border is too wide, without anything to separate it from the rest of the image (eg. a thin white border on the inside).

Wonderfull cactus. One small hint: use fill flash to get rid of the the shadows.
