		| | Greetings from the Critique Club! 
 First impression - I like this!  It makes me smile.  Looks like a lovely day, and a very lovely view.
 
 Technicals - very crisp focus on your subject and nice depth of field to blur the background yet keep it coherent.  Lighting is very good.
 
 Meets the challenge - yep.  Looks quite rule of thirds to me.  What may have helped your score a bit, though, would be to have the horizon on a third line as well.  That said, I quite like it on the half line.  Adds a nice balance to the third line with the flower.
 
 This is a lovely, quiet shot, and an excellent first challenge entry.  Don't let scores around here discourage you - keep shooting and keep entering!

		| | Nice way to show the rule of thirds... this sure looks like this might be inthe the Phoenix, Arizona USA metropolitan area. |

		| | I'd recommend stooping down a bit and tilting up the camera to get the same flower shot and get the horizon on the lower thirds line and away from the focal point. |

		| | this would have been a winner if the dof could have been greater and completely blurred the background, still worthy of a good score for the 1/3 rule....7 |
