5 - Good potential, nice colors. Criticism; while it seems you have met the Challenge with the 'rule' (but I am not 'expert'), I would like to see a more precise 'placement' using the rule. Also, the focal point needs to be 'higher', as the 'bottom' of the bee, and the flower under it and left have the focus. This does not look 'natural' to me, (if it is my apologies), but the bee looks dead, and placed - if so, then a better 'positioning' and angle would have made this a better shot in my opinion. The soft lighting coupled with the 'yellows' and 'creams' is nice, but the darkness underneath detracts in my opinion to the 'feel' of this shot. Mainly the focal point(s) for me need addressing here, and that 'dark gap'. Up to 5 from 4 for potential. |
