Yellow Mountain Flower

Comment by MaryO:
Flower looks a little soft to me but the background is decidedly complementary in colors and tones. Would prefer that one bright vertical line on the left was following the direction of the other lines instead of crossing them, and I would rotate just a bit to put the stem smack in the corner and crop a bit more off the top for balance. Nice effect overall, despite my nitpicking.

Nice reflections and wonderful scene- your fellow B&W challenge pals have critiqued the technical aspects well. Good for you joining side challenges- we learn a lot from them IMO :) PAT

I feel like the focus is a bit off.. or is it intentional?

The drop is great, but, as already said in the comments, the flower seems to get lost.

Nice lakescape. I agree with the light, it looks flat.

I like the little drop of water a lot. Because the background is brighter than the subject, the sunflower itself gets a little lost, however. Fill flash would be an interesting option on a reshoot, or a tighter crop that emphasizes the drop.

The focus comments are already made. Think the grass is a little oversharpened, but I must say: this looks relaxing.

I like the drop that hangs off the petal. The bright background on the top is a bit distracting. My eye keeps wondering around in the frame, I wish I could just focus on that drop. Maybe try a different crop, as routerguy666 suggested?
