This one has some real potential. The first thing I noticed is some graininess. It's noticveable, but not bad. A modest touch of noise reduction in software would fix that. Cropping about 15-20% off of the bottom would improve the composition and make the iced stem the focal point. A little adjustment with curves as well, and This ought to have a lot more pop to it.
I did a quick edit on this in PaintShop Pro.

I didn't do any noise reduction, as even a slight amount killed a lot of detail. If I'd had the original full res image, that may have worked better. The editing also brought out someother imperfections, but with the full size image available, you can do a better job. Editing steps are listed on the image notes.

| Probably the best composed in your portfolio. Notice how the main element is off-centre, creating interest overall. The circular lily is framed well, the way it goes in and out of frame in a pleasing way. Overall the photo needs post-processing. It's difficult to get away with this kind of subject matter without any kind of processing, since there is little for the viewer to connect with. Had it been expertly framed and were it compositionally perfect, you might have something truly engaging. Keep it up. |
