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'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. |

| 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. |

| 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? |
