::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Interesting picture for a challenge called heat.

Composition:
Te placements in the frame are intriquing .. but they work. I think that te lighting has helped in maintaining the placement of the vase, and working with the flowers having them more lit on one side than the other.

Subject:
Yout scored suffered the DNMC vote ... but you still scored well.

Technical (Colour and light):
I like this although it is in some ways a little harsh. Considering for the feature about how to sprinkle some light across perhaps using a white or silver reflector to pull a little more from the rest of the picture.

To grow its vote?:
meeting the challenge in a traditional way would increase the vote. Moving away from the blue into a warm colour also may have worked.

Summary:
lovely image .. keep it up.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via
the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Weird colors. The blue tones ruin this photo in my taste.. perhaps desaturating them would've made a better impact.

I think this would have looked hotter with a yellow background.

the predominance of Blue is very counter productive in this challange since it gives the feeling of cool.

Would work well for still life and complementary colors! Nicely balanced picture.

Good idea but does not convey heat a lot. Nice shot anyway - 6 from me

The flowers are pretty, but the picture doesn't convey heat - only the title.

I think a warmer colored vase / background probably would've conveyed more heat... still a beautiful pic though.
