Greets from the Critique Club:
Hi Picnovice1!
Initial impression:
Decent DoF, Good subject, bad focus.
Challenge:
This meets the challenge well, the subject is very colourful!
Composition:
Good, but marred by a few flaws. First, the flower on the left in the picture is distracting. Second, the subject is centered. This works for some pictures, but here it makes it look the flower static, lifeless - probably not the result you wanted when photographing such a beautiful flower! Maybe try shooting from a different angle, let the viewer really feel the flower!
Technical:
This is good, but not great. The background is nicely blurred but a bit light. However, the stamens are also out of focus and the drops look to be out of focus as well. That is probably the single biggest reason for your low score.. people around here are sticklers for focus.
Overall:
Great idea and very pretty subject, but needs more technical work to make it really wow the viewer! Good luck in the future challenges!
