*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 hmmâ€Â¦ 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 |
