This is really nice. If I would change one thing, it might be to lighten up the middle picture. The emotoinal connection illustrated here is wonderful. 9

I did mine on spring beauty, also! I might have removed that brown leaf to have a less busy background. Nice shot anyway, 7

I would have liked the background a bit more plain.

The angle helps make what might have been a boring shot, to be quite nice.

I especially like the way the backlighting helps emphasize the subject.

Critique Club:

Meets the Challenge: Excellent

Composition: Very good use of empty space, the hand with the candy towards the bottom gives a good feel to the photo, as if it has a little bit of weight and strength at the bottom where it is needed, without detracting from the airiness (is this really a word?!) of the shot. I really don't mind the wrinkled sheet, as the candy is so flat, it adds a little bit of tonal contrast to the photo and I like that, despite the comments below.

Technical Quality: To me, (one person's opinion only), it needed to be a bit more abstract to be that. It looks grainy and oversaturated and overexposed and a bit out of focus for a realistic shot and not enough to be abstract. Since abstracts generally don't do too well in competion, you can work with this some more to make improvements that will make a great sellable print, since you can do some spot editing on parts and make it as surreal as you want!

Creativity: Excellent. And the added post-processing adds to the creativity of the shot.

Overall: A nice photo, I would have probably given it a 5 as it is, with a little more or less post-processing my score would have gone up.

Hope this helps, if you have questions or comments feel free to email or pmail me. Kandice

One of my favorites this week. REally can't find any faults except for the overexposed or overprocessed petal in the lower right. I love the way the colors work here.

It would have been nice to see the light flow through the flower as well as the leaf.
