*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A well executed image that meets the challenge well
The main thing that hits me about this image is its stark simplicity both of composition and colour, I find both very appealing. There are so many boldly coloured flowers in nature it is instinct to choose one, I like your choice in boldly going against this tendency so what you end up with is effectively hues of more or less, just two colours, it works well.
I think your exposure is just a little on the high side, a little less exposure would have given more detail in the whites and saturated the greens more too, probably just a third or half a stop is all we're talking about. The soft focus flower in the background is a little close to the edge of the frame, I think moving everything just a little to the right would have improved the overall end result too.
I'm not sure about your commenters suggestion to flip it horizontally but it led me to thinking hmm… what about vertically? It might be worth a try just to see if it alters its impact.
Anyway, an excellent image, thank you for submitting, Sid |
