The detail that you got from the flower is amazing. The black and white makes the detail of the image more visable. Good job.

Ahhh - ya got me. I'm a real sucker for roses, and I love this one. Good capture of texture in the petals, good lighting, and good composition. What was this like in color?

Critique Club Review

I can see that the sign was your central focus point. However, there are some many things here competing for attention. The grass is in the way of the sign along the left side, the back lightng calls attention to the wall further on, and in general the light angle from behind the sign, tends to diminish the importance of the sign as all else is brightly lit. Naturally you cannot make the wall go away, but a bit of a different angle could have brought a bit more of the road into play. (It is barely there in this photo.) Also this would be a very good time to use a small f stop to shrink the depth of field. With the background out of focus, and the sign in focus, the sign would not have to compete for attention and at the same time the rural feel would be kept. It also might be the time to tramp down a bit of the weeds trying to cover the sign. The picture does express your title well, and I do like the overall effect.

Cute little lion. I think I would like this photo more if I didn't have to turn my head to see his head - turn the square on it's corner.

Comment by Kavey:
Looking back at my comment (below) I realise how crass and insensitive it was. To suggest an image of an old veteran holding his medals makes an assumption that the brave soldier pictured was one of the lucky ones who did make it back. Apologies if I upset you back when I made my original comment.

No much in focus. Not an exciting or different photo. Looks like a snapshot taken from the car. Not my kind of photo.

nice signs, but they don't stand out well enough on a background of the brick wall...
