Greetings from the Critique Club };-)

Initial thoughts
Very interesting composition, a stretch to meet the challenge, well done composition.

Composition/ Content
I REALLY love the shot, IMHO by far your best shot that you've submitted so far. That being said, I think it failed miserably for this challenge. If this was a postcard it would scare all of the tourists away. Great composition although I would like to see a little more land below the flower.'

Technical
Focus is dead on and I really like the shallow depth of field. The low color is excellent and I wonder if you desaturated some. For another challenge you would have really made a killer shot.

My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a four bordering on a five. I think that it is an awesome shot but fails miserably at meeting the challenge. Good job on the photo though, and keep up the good work.


I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

I am not sure if I would buy this postcard? :)

I'd trim some of the sky to make the shape more postcard-like.

Nice photo, I'm not sure I'd buy it as a card to send or to remind me of a place.

This is a wildly well done photo! I'm having a hard time seeing this as a postcard, maybe a greeting card (sympathy - don't be down...sort of thing). The focus and composition are wonderful! 6 Rob the Swash

This is very artistic. I love the mood of this shot, but not sure it'd make the best postcard. If it'd been in the Flora challenge I wouldn've given it a 9 or 10.

Excellent shot, the color of the flower is a great contrast to the black/gray tones. Flawless - a 10.

This is a good picture - I'm not sure how good of a postcard it is. It doesn't look appealing - with the one flower bent over and stuff.

Gorgeous image, but not very postcardy, I'm afraid. What it really looks like is one of those Successories or 'Despair.com' motivational posters.

Great shot - but postcard? There was a requirement to be relevant to your location in the challenge, and this could be anywhere. Still a great photo, but not as it stands for this challenge.

GREAT picture....but it doesn't meet the challenge. I know, I know. You've already heard that but it's true.

Vey interesting colour scheme. Did you desaturate some colours? Very neat.

I like this image a lot you have composed it very well. The yellows contrast very well against the bland background. This would make an excellent postcard. From your title, and the lack of a description on your postcard I am not sure what or where it really is. Is this promoting the area you live in? If so I need more information - 7.

Then why do my pampered plants die?

I like the photo but i cant see what it has to do with postcards? Good look anyway

This is a great macro, but i fail to comprehend how it can be a postcard.

Great catch, but not very much of a postcard representing your city or state, or is it?

Great concept. would look ever better with B&W for everything except the flowers.
