Hi from the Critique Club,
Second time I got one of your images in the same day!
I was a bit surprised at first to see that this image scored so low. However, considering the challenge it was entered in, I'm presuming that a lot of voters voted it down because they figured it did not meet the challenge. Your explanation above hints at your intention, but one might instead argue that the rose in full bloom is at the peak of its beauty.
With that said, you've done a great job of capturing a beautiful flower. The water droplets are certainly favourable, and you've done a great job of keeping all aspects of the image well exposed.
The tight crop is nice to see detail, but I might have suggested either a tighter crop or more negative green space around the flower. There is a bit of fringing around the edge of the flower, which seems to indicate either oversharpening or aberration. Some might like that fringe, and others might not have noticed. It's only a small nitpick that I wouldn't have voted down on in this case.
You've captured a nice subject; perhaps the voters would have liked a different or more interesting (i.e. better bokeh) background.
Regards,
Geoff |
