Greetings from the Critique Club

Ah, California Poppy, jnenvir, so that means we are neighbors. This is as orange as they come and you certainly met the Challenge spot-on!

Yet it received just an average score. It has good definition, and that blue makes a nice complimentary contrast. Perhaps if that blue could have been brought out a bit more (I use Selective Colors a lot to make that happen) it would have made the image pop. Then, the poppy is just a tad flat and you do have such nice shadows in there. These are just thoughts to play around with.

There are SO many ways to shoot a California Poppy and aren't we lucky in our state to have so many of them to practice on!
