From the Critique Club

How are you doing today? I am going to touch on a few items with your image.

Colour;
This image has some beautiful colour. I really enjoy that touch of green at the bottom, I think it adds a strong contrast and holds the images' interest for the viewer. The transitions between colours are smooth and delicate.

DOF/Focus;
It appears the green is slighting more in focus. It could be due to the texture difference, but everything seems to be strong and with this being a nearly 2D image the overall focus is nice.

Post;
I don't know what your post steps are, only basic editing is listed. Overall the image looks well done with only a couple items I will talk about below.

Off Items;
As much as I like this, the Dark tips of the petals that almost blend in the background really distracts the image for me. Even though I can see the full petals, they give the appearance of incompletion where it should be complete. Maybe angling your light stronger, or adding a second smaller light to keep the tips a bit lighter as to show the full effect. Also, the weakest part of the flower is also the spot of light area creating a blown highlight. My eye tends to be drawn right to that spot because of the darkness of the rest of the image.

Other;
I like your idea, and the border is nice as well. Your image was very well excepted by the voters. I believe you did a great job overall, and with a couple minor tweaks it can be a ribbon winner.

Nice Job

Very nice color and light. I kinda like the open space between the petals - sort of an invitation to see what's beyond.

From the challenge: Title your image with your chosen acronym, and let your image explain what the letters represent!

As such you shouldn't put in your title what the letters mean. Thats what the picture was supposed to do.

"title your image with your chosen acronym, and let your image explain what the letters represent!"
This would never work without the extended title.
