Greetings from the Critique Club!
The message
The intent of this image is to interpret the natural beauty of this orchid. It's pure whiteness makes it a technically difficult choice, but a great subject for a magazine cover.
Creative choices
The lighting is nicely soft and at a good angle to bring out the textures and forms of the petals. The background is blurred perfectly and makes a great contrast with the flowers. I think a more frontal point of view would work better; the petals obscure interesting parts of the flowers in this nearly side view. The focus seems a bit soft; some sharpening would enhance the textures and better show off the orchids' beauty.
Technical aspects
The focus is accurate and the colors are beautiful; especially the subtle yellows in the center of the flowers. The image is overexposed, burning out the white flowers and ruining the photo. A proper exposure would have captured details in all of the petals instead of leaving just a pure white area in the center. |
