Comment by PHOTOKID:
I like the colors in this image, they really pop due to the HDR. As I was looking through your portfolio and came accross the this image I thought at first that the flowers may have been mirrored, but its not the case. I like the back background and postioning in the frame.

The only suggestion I would give is to perhaps sharpen them up a bit, just feels a bit fuzzy. Could be perhaps from the merging?

HTH,

honestly speaking, I like flowers more in their natural environment.. I like seeing more of a perspective to their surroundings.. the composition is perhaps too simple.. maybe placing them in water would create more interest..

Very cute picture.. I like the upside down composition.. not sure I like the crop.. maybe just a little more crop like this perhaps [strictly personal opinion]

Hi Gree,
Interesting image, What I think happened here was the right side of the image accounted for your 2,3,4 scores and the left side got you the higher 5,6,7 scores. What caused this i believe are two things, First your bokeh took control over the entire image & secondly the bokeh had the effect of creating two separate images. The right side of the image seems slightly out of focus and a bit blown-out causing a lose of detail in the flower and water dropletts. On the left side however you have a nice clean, sharp image nice detail in the pedals & water dropletts. The leaf just in front of the flower is nice and soft and it\'s placement compliments the image. I would have either cropped or repositioned and used just the upper left side of the image only. This would have given you a nice line coming down the right side of the image and making that second leaf your bokeh. I took the liberty of trying it and turned out to be a really nice image that I would have scored a 7 or maybe 8.

Hmmm... I don't see grainy. What I see (and what probably hurt your score) is a nifty juxtaposition in lines/patterns/textures. I think having the poppy just a bit lighter in tone than the stems behind would be beneficial, but I think I can see what you saw when you took this.

The big green leaf or stem in the middle is disturbing. The petal on the left is lovely.
