M'Lady's Slipper

Comment by DrAchoo:
The techicals: Composition is good. We get a nice echo motif with the second flower. Lighting is good, but not dynamic (ie. it's flat). Processing lets the shot down in my eyes. I can instantly see the highlight/shadow effect and that probably means you did too much. It further leads to the "flat" look.

The feel: I'm not sure where the picture is going. The subject is sort of sedate and still lifeish (which isn't bad), but the processing doesn't go with this idea and tries to give it an "edge" (at least in my eyes).

The game: The negative space was not negative enough. While you do have a large portion that is not occupied by the main subject, it is occupied by a secondary subject and the voters probably didn't take too kindly to that.

I don't think I would've picked one with a whole in it but it doesn't really hurt the image. The negative space isn't what I would've thought for this challenge but that's just me. Technically this shot is very good. the clarity of the front slipper is good, the comp is good, the colores are nice and pleasing.

Excellent color and detail. Maybe open up the lens a bit to blur the backgroun a little more.

good example of negative space created by the two flowers.

I really like this image - very nicely composed and I like the concept. I wish the colours were more vibrant though, to me the oranges look a little flat. Perhaps the lighting wasn't quite right? I like it though...gave you an 8
