Since Im such a flower nut i will return my comment on this one:

WoW! Great Job here! I love the close up of this and the strong colors you captured here are wonderful. I think I would like to have seen the third flower up with the other two but exactly this same crop.For me the green and white in the bottom right corner are a bit of a distraction for me personaly.But i can see where it gives this shot some depth.

I just love the rythem and flow this has. the colors you chose I think compliment the image very nicely. The eye just flows around this image never getting bored but not overwhelmed. I would call this true ART! Very nicely done....Bravo!!

I love this shot. all the magenta lines lead you right to the center of the flower and all the green pulls the eye right there too. great colors here too. I think this shot is perfect as is! way to go!!

just an after thought...maybe a touch more highlight to this might add that last "over the top" boost

I love the intimacy(sp?) of this shot. the highlight/shadows works very well for this. great color too! i think either less crop of more crop of the bottom would make this a bit better at least IMO for me. still a super great shot and very well done

since Im such a flower nut myself i thought i would return your comment on one of your flower shots. you have a great work posted here.

I love the subject you chose here. for me it has alot of interest plus its my fav color(besides pink). good focus and great color saturation. one thing i think i would do is crop off the left of the photo. the bright flower there only pulls the eye away from your main subject. Just by doing that it will make this wonderful photo fall right into the "rule of thirds" i think. I like the the flower on the right too as it gives a different view of the same flower and for me it adds even more interest to the main one. very well done here...keep up the great work

not to be picky but the legs look weird to me, like they wernt there to begin with and pasted in...could be cause i cant see the rest of the girl at all. other than that i think this is a great photojournalism shot and very well executed. good luck

hello from the critique club, Im Cher and I will be your critiquer today :o)

I like the abandoned, rustic feel of this photo i think this would have been better suited in either a B&W or siepa tone to give it more of an aged/old feel. I feel either more color or less color would have been better than the muted colors it has.I think you should have waited on a better day weather wise as I think this would have been an AWESOME photo with a pretty blue sky overlooking the boat and city(in the BG) I think you did very well on your composistion and the dodge/burn is excellent!

If you have any questions about this critique please PM me. Good luck in future challenges and have a great day!

I see a few things wrong with this photo and I will try to not sound like Im picking on your work but i want to be honest and help you improve.

the B&W you chose to edit this as was a very wise decision for this subject. it gives it the "old" feel and met the challenge this way. While I tend to lean twords darker editing myself I find this photo to be exceptional dark. There arent many midtones to be found in this which I feel is the primary reason that this scored the way it did. While I think your main intended subject is the buildings on the left of the photo my eyes are drawn to the bottom right where the exit/entrance ramp(i think it is) is. for me that is the point of interest you should have exploited better. the darkness of the bottom hinders this for me and leaves me wanting to see alot more detail.good job on not getting the sky over exposed, thats a hard thing to do.

If you have any questions about this critique please PM me. Good luck in future challenges and have a great day!
