The four pieces of chocolate on the saucer was more than just a nice touch -- I think it makes this image. Looks delicious! An eight for you.

To Pull The Petal Will Decide My Fate

Critique Club Review:

Color, Saturation and Hue: Colors are excellent. Nothing is over saturated and the hues are accurate for the subject.

Brightness and contrast: Brightness is good. Contrast is good as well. I really like the inky black of the background. There is one little nit to pick here. In between the two petals closest to the bottom of the image, there is a little dot, right in the middle about aligned with the top of the right petal. It's really insignificant, and at first I thought it was dirt on my monitor. Some of the white petals seem to lose some detail. But most have plenty of detail.

Focus and depth of field. Focus is very good, and depth of field is appropriate for this subject.

I like this picture a lot! Great use of negative space. I like the saturation of the yellow and greens here. The colors really pop in this image.

In the voting I gave this picture a 9, and I'm a little suprised that it did not finish even higher.

Congratulations on a very well deserved top ten finish.

First off, I really like the overall feel to this, seems like I would be seeing this in an advertisement or some place similar to that. I really am enjoying your composition, the bridge placed on the lower left 3rd and it being polished chrome (grey in B&W) really grabs your attention. Then with the guitar strings running off in a diagonal and the guitar being in the diagonal it makes it exceptionally strong. This has some great detail thoughout and I love the sharpness of the writing on the speaker as well. Very nicely done, may want to think about considering it when we do music II challenge.

Good composition. A bit overprocessed for my taste.
