Such a delicate flower. Great capture... I love the abstract nature.

Hello from the Critique Club!

I have studied your image and have the following to offer:

Composition/perspective - this is a well done macro shot with just the right amoung of flower to keep it from being too busy, but not too little that it is unidentifiable. The DoF is very well controlled and almost the entire shot is in focus. The detail that can be seen in the petals is great and the water drops are a nice touch that add an even more delicate aspect. I think it is stronger as a side shot and not a top down shot. There is more depth to it. Well done!

Color - being a white rose there is not much color. The subtle variations in the petals can be seen which add a sort of flow to the overall view.

Lighting - another strong aspect of this shot. The shadows are not overbearing and nothing is blown out. The reflections on the drops are not too bright to be a distraction, but bright enough to let them stand out and be well defined with a nice contrast between the bright and dark sides of them.

Challenge requirements - this meets the requirements very well. I think without the water it would lose some of the delicate impression. There are just enough to help with the effect and not too many to be overwhelming.

Overal/my opinion - this image is very appealing. Your choice of white was a good one. A darker color such as red may not have had the same effect and the red may have been overbearing. Technically is it well done and demonstrates good control with the combined elements - camera, subject, etc. Well done!
