Tandem Twoby

So this is your 'Flowers' entry. Certainly fits the challenge, those are definitely flowers :-) My first impression on this image is that it is a refreshing departure from the bright vivid colors one would expect from a flower challenge. Judging from the relatively low number of low votes on the pic, I would say that the voters generally found the same thing. I actually quite like the earthy tones here, and it is presented nicely on the black background. I really like the curves made from the right side of the flowers.
Technically, looks pretty good. Nice focus and lighting. Might be nice to have a little more dramatic play of shadow on the flowers, but that could be just my taste for drama, and would only be a plus on an already good job. A 'classic' composition, but it just always works so well when executed well, and this one is well done. I will note however, that at least it seems to me that usually you see the vertical go from left to right, and yours is right to left, so perhaps that seems a little 'fresh', at least to me :-)
Overall, a very nice shot. I find it invokes a soothing, 'earthy' feeling. It placed pretty well in what IMO, was a challenge with some real tough competition in it. Nicely done.
If you have any questions, or comments or anything, please feel free to pm me.
Happy shooting,
taterbug :-)
