CRITIQUE CLUB COMMENT:
I like the colors in your photo, very vibrant and expressive of love. I like the purplish background and the way it compliments the color of the flower.
Unfortunately your foreground seems to distract from your image in my opinion. There is a bit too much going on in the blurred area that I'm left trying to figure out exactly what I'm looking at while the focus of your photo is obviously on the middleground. In otherwords the forground distracts from your subject.
As a general rule flowers are so commonly shot that in order to score well you have to have an exceptional shot of a flower. Often times it is necessary to really isolate the flower in your photo and compose it in a unique way, neither of which were accomplished here. I think a lot of people would vote 5 on the photo because it appears to them as "just another flower." Next time concentrate on making it really stand out as something we haven't seen before.
Other than the distracting foreground mentioned above, I think the composition is fine. I think the photo shows real promise that you will have some great shots to offer. Keep up the good work! |

| I really like this. The only thing distracting to me is the out of focus foreground. I Love a shallow dof, but I feel like maybe if you had cropped a little different and had eliminated a bit of the blur, it may have worked a little better for me. |
