Really neat photo, great mood! Love the subdued colour, I just think the contrast is a little too low with a little too much negative space (ie crop a little more closer to rose while still maintining its off-centeredness)

Interesting, dreamy feel... I would have liked to have seen a crisper focus on the rose though. I think this could have been an awesome shot with a little closer view of the rose, with a bit more color with the "fog" swirling in. This looks like a very interesting setup that would be fun to experiment with.

I really do like the effect you used here. However, the position of rose doesn't seem right. Appears to lack detail. Perhaps turning it slightly to see more of the petal folds or having it upright would have been nice. Otherwise a nice shot.

GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB!

Well, I wish I had more to say about this picture....

Its great. I like the crop choice. The detail looks sufficient, maybe a bit obscured by the darkness in the shadows. A lot of others have commented about the blue cast and I think they're right, it detracted from the photo. Im guessing your score would have easily gone up a whole point if this wasn't the first thing to hit many a viewers brain.

Nice shot, although I am a bit biased towards fire equipment, still great shot.

I like the change from solid to liquid this photo shows. The creamy color of the butter and the bubbles at the edges. The lighting is a bit bright.

Nice composition and color choice. Gives a very sea lion feel. You can almost hear that loud bark filling the space around the head.
