This is lovely sysop. I really like the color balancing here and the silhouetting of the boats was done nicely.

Beautiful image! Vertical was a great choice here. The sun seems so distant here and you don't see that with many sunset shots. Great work!

Greetings from the Critique Club Raymond.

A lovely shot of the rose. Crisp. clear and what can I say about the beautiful color other than.....well.....beautiful.

A few things hurt your score here. I see where you were going with this but the angle of the shot really got into your composition. The rose seems more like it's blocking a decent subject rather than grabbing my attention as the main focal point. As someone pointed out, moving a bit to the left would've allowed more of the church to show, therefore leading us right to the rose. To get the correct exposure on the subject you had to blow the sky out. Taking this shot a bit later in the day might've helped with that. As you can tell by the ribbon winners and high score, the "Unexpected Find" really needed to be something unexpected. I'm sure many voters didn't consider a rose to be something one wouldn't expect to see.

Overall a beautiful shot with great color.

Thanks for the opportunity to critique this image Raymond.

Cheers - Phil

Very nice macro indeed. Definitely looks like our perception of an alien. Good to see someone else using reversed lenses. Nice work!
