The entire shot is out of focus. The only reason why I love this shot is because I was able to get such a uniformity of tones and colors, and I've succeeded in that goal.
Recently I've developed an ability to find uniformity of tone and color in my images. I am hoping to improve on that ability.

Greetings from the Critique Club.
Thank you for entering the Moods, DPChallenge.
This is a fine capture of two flowers in the Moods challenge. The white and yellow coloring does generate a mood disposition. The systemetrical distance also creates a viewer appeal. The soft lighting adds to the mood or emotion that your are trying to present. Flowers are good choices for mood or evoking feelings. Flowers are also symbols in most parts through out the world. Their presence creates calm, or asethetic beauty to a room or enviroment.
Technically the composition is well done. The balance or centering of the elements are good. The water drops, and am not sure if they are drops, make this image very appealing. It would have been better if the flower stems were in focus. This would add a total and complete feel to your image. Its almost like the two flower "heads" are communicating without their bodies.
There are area's where better lighting could have help your photo. Its a little soft on the flower on the left side of the frame. The highlights and details are missing. The water drops look more like stains. The flower on the right hand side of the frame looks better focused. Overall the white contrast area's seem to blur the focal point of your photo. It almost competes with the blurred background, causing some viewer distraction.
Since you did not include your camera settings, it is difficult to ascertain what other options you could have on this shot. I am guessing that you also took this shot at a wider angle and cropped and resized for the challenge. Make sure that when you optimize for the web and this challenge that you stay as close as you can to the 150K file limit. This will produce the resolution and sharpness needed to satisfy even your toughess critics.
Overall a good shot, a little soft on the right side of the frame. A great submission to the challenge. Many voters will like the interpretation and others will not see the appeal.
Good luck on your next DPChallenge. Zagman.

| Nice focus and depth of field. Maybe the framing/crop could be a little more interesting, but I think what you did works best for this challenge. |

| Like this shot. Water drops on left flower is a bit of a distraction, i feel. But nice sentiment. |

| "Take a picture that captures an emotion." To me flowers will cause an emotion to a person, but I dont understand how this has captured an emotion. I am willing to change my mind and score if you wish to PM me with your thoughts. |
