Beautiful soft image. I love it. I, too, am a fan of cranking down the brightness. It could have used a TOUCH more contrast IMO (and many others I see) but it stands pretty dayam good as it is as a very soft low keyish photo.
this is a very good photo of a glad.- hard to get them because of height but you did a nice composition. I like it a bit dark too. Most people want you to up the contrast, brightness, sat.---I'm a fan of not messing with it - sometimes! Not an expert, just my opinion
There's a hint of a pretty picture but it's quite flat in luminosity and colours. You could perhaps try applying auto-levels and contrast to see the difference and push up on the colour saturation just a little.
Not really "bad" but just totally lacks a good punchy contrast if it were to cater to my taste. If I had shot this I would have put it through a good "s-curve" and brigthened a bit.
Lacks lighting and contrast that could have really stood it out. Try to boost the levels a little and work on the contrast a bit to see if you can get it to look a little less flat.
Nicely composed and a very pretty subject. The lighting seems rather low for this shot, though. A cloudy day, maybe? I'm no processing expert but I suspect there's a digital way to compensate for the lighting.
The focus is good as is the DOF, this just seems to lack contrast and brightness leaving it a bit flat to me. Maybe a diagonal composition would have give it a bit more dynamic also.
