this is alright, but doesn't really grab my attention. you need something compositionally that's going to smack me and make me want to hang around.

Technicals: Not bad focus. 70-300 lenses are typically pretty soft. The lighting is poor and borders on harsh, which probably limited the amount of contrast you could add in processing.

The feel: When I do a shot like this, I like to control everything. You have all the time in the world. Look at the canvas. I would have removed the detrius in the middle (with tweezers if needed). I may have also raised the lens to put the flowers a little lower on the canvas. (that depends on what was then introduced into the scene). Balance between two pictures is nice, but here, I think it is actually too balanced. Working with other angles or crops would have been interesting.

The game: I think the lighting hurt you the most on this picture.

great macro - maybe a bit too much noise

Maybe should have removed the dead plant bits first they kind of distract.
