I keep "clicking" on your photos when I browse. You are very talented. I do a lot of flowers but I don't know how to edit into something like this. nice...

From the Critique Club:

This is a unique kind of shot for me to critique because while I like this a lot, I don't like it at the same time...

I like this a lot because it is at first appearance this is an awesome soft focus shot with a very simple color scheme! You know what they say, you only get one shot at a first impression. In that you definately have succeeded.

Then I start to look at it closer. You have processed almost all the character out of this lovely flower. The petals have no texture left. Towards the center left of the shot the petals blend into one another. You have no detail left in the highlights. The shadow arc that runs around the top half of the frame is a rather wierd color. The more I see this, the more I want to see that isn't there...

So you have captured or should I say post processed a shot that makes me stop and look at it. In a way that is a success. However, I'm not looking at it longer to see what I like, rather I continue to look at it to see why it looks off.

I don't know if I have captured in words my photographic emotional reaction to this shot, but this is the best I can do...

Yours

Love your shot, gave it an 8. Regarding your question/comment on mine :-) or the title ... I go in all year round = I swim in the ocean, all year round, no matter how cold it is.

I find this a little soft - possibly even intentional on your part.
Suits the square crop well.
