Hey there from the Critique Club
Camera Work/Technical: Your depth of field is spectacular, but I do find it difficult to place your primary area of focus. The second flower in the frame serves well to grab the eye and move it around a bit, though it is not overbearing and does not compete with your subject with your use of Bokeh.
Lighting: The lighting is nice, but I'd like to see a little more on the green stem. I think that this one would have popped a bit better if you had reflected a little of the backlighting back onto the front of your subject. This could have been done with the use of a reflector, or using something as simple as a white sheet of paper...even someone standing near it with a white shirt would do the trick.
Composition/Content: The almost-square cropping makes this one look off balanced and tense in my opinion. While I do like your overall composition, the subject matter is just far too common here on DPC.
My Opinion: This image scored near its potential. I think that the scored suffered a little from the awkward framing, but mostly from the commonality of the subject and lack of creativity. I would have given it a 4 or maybe a 5.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric
