Hi from the C Club

A nice choice of flowers to show in this life and death challenge.

The focus is not on the right part of the flower, it should be on the front part, what i can see of what is in focus is good details and colour.

Moving to a different angle would have helped with this shot. Your background is a nice buttery soft green, which is good.

If this plant is still around, take this shot again, because it would be worth it as it is excellent

Plants show great illustrations of life and death. The colors are beautiful in this. Wish the clarity was better and the light a little softer.

Interesting composition. A little tight on the top and I am not sure the negative space to the right works because it is cluttered with partially focused subjects. The colors are very nice.

Where is the focal point? Seems like the only thing in focus is half covered ((see left petal edges)).

I think the Degree of focus here was chosen wrong. Instead of having the sharp part in the back of the photo, you should have shifted it to the front with the back of it slightly out of focus.
