Hello found this in the Critique Club section
I can appreciate many things about this shot, and also find it a bit hard to overlook the flaws. There are many good photographers on this site who specialize in flora, and Ive learned alot from the work here to know that this shot is on par with the best, at least technically.
The framing and focus are very above average and I guess a its a good choice going with that aperture setting for a shallow d.o.f. maybe a few stops down to 5.6 might give a better effect. I enjoy the particular look of this flower too, it's great for close crops like this, lighting isn't the best, hurting the contrast however.
Now a look at some flaws; at least artistically. The color for this isn't that vivid. It looks de-saturated a bit. Better contrast could be achieved through the color. I also think the noise distracts, maybe over-use of levels?
Overall, a solid floral. I think it scored what it deserved, PM me if you have questions about this critique.
