Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil

Composition - The first thing I noticed about this photo when I first saw it was that the angle could've been changed to hide the part in the lower left hand corner that is out of focus. It does add a little to the perspective of the photo but I believe it takes away from the overall composition more. The colors of the photo are great, from the flowers to the sky. Nice detail in this image though. I'm curious as to why the top of it was cut off as well.

Technical - Nice picture quality. Nice and clear with good focus, except for the little blur on the bottom right in the red part. You might've been able to avoid that with a greater F-number. Definitely excellent exposure. Framing is good too with the exception of taking this from a slightly different angle, or cropping that part on the lower left out of the picture. Saturation of the colors is good whether it was out of the camera or post-shot.

Overall - A nice photo but nothing outstanding. The subject just isn't as compelling as I'd like it to be, but that's just my opinion.
The little focus issue on the right side is probably the biggest area of concern and the angle thing is also a slight problem. Overall its fairly well taken. Good luck in future challenges - Inspzil

Very nice capture of a traditionally uncolorful subject.

I would like to see the top of the cactus, nice colors

Very striking image. I think I'd prefer the background elements either in focus or cropped out - with an image as sharp as this (no pun intended), I think it would look best with more depth of field

Good colors with this one and interesting subject. DOF needs to be greater to make the whole thing in focus, or at least the red part on the bottom right side of the pic.

good job

I think you took too much away from the pic. by tring to get too close. Your pic. would have giving us more if you took more of it yourself.

Awesome natural colors. I don't like the focus for this shot, though.

Didn't think cactus's could get those colors. Nice one.
