I like the arrangement, very nice. I think if you boost the contrast a little in photoshop or whatever editing program you use, it could help with making the photo seem brighter.

Very pretty shot. Very yellow, challenge well met. Color and focus seem very good. Framing - your choice, but it seems to work well. Interest - well, I like it, so I find it interesting. (The Odd flower really helps!) 9 Swash

Of all the typical flower shots, this one is actually a bit different and good. -8

Composition - This was tricky to see how it met the challenge. I had to look at it a second time (on 2 consecutive days) and now I see the point of it. I think as an image, its too much of the leaves thing. For the challenge, I think its pretty good. Not much else to say about composition at this point.

Technical - I think the focus is a little soft, especially on the foliage part of it. It may be the focus of the slide itself which would make it significantly harder to make a clear image. A couple degrees of sharpen in PS might help some. The exposure is actually pretty good. I could see the subject being exposed a bit more and the slide image a little less, but its not bad as is.

Overall - Not a whole lot to say about this image really (for this long-winded critic anyway). I genuinely like the idea, but I just don't think this came out near as well as it could've. As you stated though it was just preliminary. I think it met the challenge well but as strictly an image, I don't really like it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful on this one. Good luck on future challenges - Inspzil

oooh yea.. super DOF... nice job with that for sure... it's really birhgt though, I wonder if some contrast might add some drama and make it easier to look at???

Comment by PTLParsons:
Nice shades of yellow. Like the mixture of flowers, and their differences. Nice touch. This is just a thought, but if you look at it you should have pulled the one on the right out from under the center one making a circle of flowers surrounding the large different one, making the photo more symetrical. Also that way one of its' leaves wouldn't be into the center of the one above it. Just a thought. Nice as it is though. Good focus and lighting.

Ohh nice. I'd like to see about a half inch more of the middle flower.

Great shot! There are so many flowers in this week's challenge but this is one of my favourites! I gave you a 9 for this because you have somehow composed this shot so that I can almost smell them!
