*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

A flawed entry that meets the challenge well.

An interesting challenge and I like your composition with the rose occupying a minimal space leaving plenty of negative space. Like your commenter I feel because of the minimal space used for the rose it should not have been slightly cropped in the way that it has, we should be able to see all of the petals.

The biggest failing is what I assume to be sensor dust, if it is not then your background is soiled but there are several specks immediately above and to the right of the flower. The plain white background itself doesn't add anything to the overall image in the same way that say using the sky would have done. My preference would have been to compose this from below with the plain blue sky filling the rest of the frame or against a plain green grassy expanse, they would just look more natural and therefore more appealing.

Thanks for your submission, Sid

Well captured, great lighting, and I am totally feeling the negative space with this one. If the rose petals were not being clipped by the right and bottom border I think that would have been perfect.

DMC but the rose is placed awkwardly IMHO!
