Greetings from the Critique Club!
Soft focus combine with high key and low contrast to make this image convey a transcendent, tranquil beauty. The background color is perfect for this message. The composition is just right. The leaf is close enough to the bottom of the frame that it doesn't draw undue attention, but provides support and context for the flowers. The bud going to the right at the top nicely balances the left-facing flowers.
Overall, a wonderfully sublime image. I like it very much. My only suggestion is to ignore those who would prefer a more conventional photo, which may indeed be beautiful but would lack the ethereal, spiritual effect you have succeeded in capturing here. |

| I agree that it's reminiscent of a watercolor..personally, I find it very appealing to see the flowers match the background more obviously, sort of represents how nature fades into the background of our own lives at times. Very creative using a stocking over the lense, it never hurts to step outside the box. Too bad I'm too late to vote! |

| nicely framed. i'm afraid the background color detracts too much from the flowers, though. maybe a more contrasting color would have worked better... |

| I like how you've composed this with the leaf curving across the bottom. The flowers are a lovely subject for soft focus, especially with the white on them. But this is just a bit too soft. The pink of the flowers blends a bit too well with the background. Something that contrasts better would work. |

| Very visually appealing shot. I find the choice of background color to be somewhat unusual, and a little surprising, but it does work well. Composition is effective, the soft focus beautiful. Has an almost sensuous feel to it. 8 |

| Nice colours and composition but the soft focus is overdone for me. |

| Nice soft focus but the pink flowers seem to lack contrast against the background, maybe a blue background would have helped? |

| the background and the flower colours blend. a different background colour may have improved this? |
