Hello from the Critique Club.

As you can gather from the comments left during the challenge (mine included), this image definitely was a little out of the box for this challenge. On the technical side, you did a very nice job with the lighting. The sunflower is nicely lit without having blown highlights and the woman has good skin tones and no harsh shadows. As for the composition of the image, I found the placement of her elbow and the sunflower a bit awkward. One suggestion would be to have the woman facing the sunflower. That way the sunflower would have been a complimenting subject instead of a competing one. I'm finding that when shooting for these challenges that I need to try slight variations in the composition when shooting. Two of my top three scores were second efforts, as they ended up being stronger images than my original setup. You're making progress and keep shooting. Feel free to PM me if you want some constructive comments on any of your future entries.

Nice touch with the sunflower ... and is that a fly or a bee??

don't really find this visually appealing (and I can see a panty line)

OK? Interesting take on the challenge but I don't think you will be hanging this one on your wall any time soon. I'll give you a 6 just for talking your subject into letting you take this photo.

Great idea. The edges look jagged- not sure if that happened from sharpening the image, or maybe when you reduced the file size?
