Anger should've been wrath. I like the idea, although without the title it might seem a bit random to some. Not sure why all but one of the E's are the wrong way around....?

I like the detail you have in the middle of the flower, and the toning is lovely!

Greetings from the Critique Club:

Hi Janine - nice to get another of yours from the queue.

This is certainly a full-on colour image! For me the technicals are pretty good (with a single caveat - see below) but I'm probably with the camp that subscribes to sometimes less is more. Having said that, I respect the way in which the images delivers the vision you had for the image (and indeed an interpretation of the challenge brief).

The technical caveat is the loss of detail in the highlights - we can see the detail in some of the upper petals and it seems a shame to see them disappear towards the lower part of the image where the harsh sun has topped out your histogram. I don't think you should have been shy of losing the background a little to black to preserve the highlights with your exposure - having the magenta emerge from a darker green/black would have been just as effective.

I don't normally like borders but this one is well picked.

Best regards

Paul
