 I wanted to be a part of this challenge, but was having a difficult time thinking of what in my life would fit the details... I found this today while fly fishing.

I am happy to provide this critique as part of the critique club.

First let me say that I enjoyed your image and felt it was a good submission for the challenge. The delicate purple flower and green leaves definitely met the challenge.

I liked the placement of your flower in that left third of the image, but the large amount of negative space on the right side distracted me a bit, especially those two diagonal branches that extended to the upper right corner. The branches were prominent enough to call attention to themselves and I felt my eye kind of pulled into that dark part of your image. I wondered if a square crop might have eliminated those branches and given you a stronger composition.

Your colors look good. The green is very realistic and I think the purple is just beautiful. While part of your image is quite dark, I really like the light you captured right on the flower. The flower petals are in sharp focus, which I found pleasing. Overall I enjoyed your image, and felt it was an above average entry. (It was the nice light on the flower that gave me the most enjoyment.)

Congratulations on your first entry. I look forward to seeing more work from you.
