		Greetings from the Critique Club
 
 The first thing that strikes me about this photo is the gentle simplicity of it. The soft pastel-like colours give it a texture you can almost feel.  The shadow underneath enhances the appearance of depth. The white background is most appropriate for the subject matter. The green border is a nice touch that matches the stem of the flower. All in all an excellent composition and I cant find anything I would change about it. |

		| Nice.  Very soft and great white background.  A littel harsh on the side light. |

		| Delicate, soft and beautiful. Flowers, especially ones captured like this are always in demand. |

		| I think for this kind of shot to work, it either needs no shadows or a very dramatic shadow.  This has an average shadow and looks a bit faded to me. |

		| I would be incredibly surprised if I don't see this on a greeting card in 6 months time. My one and only ten for the challenge - as most saleable image. |

		| It's a really lovely photo and it is lovely art.  Since I do not have graphic design background I find myself less enamored of photos with vast white spaces.  And my curiosity is aroused about whether it has crossed the  threshold from photo to digital art when over 15% of the area of the 'photo' is art.  This is certainly one of the more impactful images in this challenge, yet I would have strong reservations about asserting it is the best photo. |

		| Great shot, it just seems a little too bright on the right of the photo (the light source). |
