Greetings from the Critique Club...

I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 5.

My favourite aspect of this photograph is the use of complimentary colours. The purple background makes the yellow flower just pop off the page. The details in the foreground add a little interest, and the out of focus background works well to isolate the flower. As for your score, I think this is a direct reflection of the viewer not being able to figure out in what way the flower is being personified. Maybe it is a too subtle, or maybe there was not much thought put into the idea. Overall, it is a nice image, it just doesn't fit the challenge well.

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

Very nice. The flower stand out nicely from the background. DOF is just right.

It's a nice flower shot, and the color contrast is attractive. Don't quite see how it's personification, though.

pretty flower and lovely color background - i wish i could find a straightforward connection to personification - a bit too subtle for me

Beautiful colors! The Yellow just "pops" off the screen!

Nice photo, but don't see the connection.

beautiful colors. I am not getting the personification, though. Lack of imagination on my side?
