Photographer’s Notes
I am color blind – and am not good with subtle colors. I would normally describe pastel colors as over exposed and under saturated.

Driving home this morning I saw some flowers about a quarter mile from my house. So I gabbed my camera and went to work. Ending up shooting these just a few feet from the front door.

It’s not what I usually shoot but I liked the dreamy quality the wide open lens produced.

The unusual color combination here really makes this photo stand out. Yellows, pinks and greys

Hello from the critique club...

Nice shot. Fits in well with this challenge. The flowers have nice "pastel" colors. Pretty good for being color blind. I think you should have done better in the challenge. The only thing I see that may have hurt your score is there is part of the bottom flower that seems to be out of focus / blurry. Anyway overall nice shot. Happy shooting

The creamy colors and flowing lines are strong components of this image. Quite sincerely, I hope this does well as it deserves, in my opinion, front page placement.
