Finally had a chance to dust off the digital camera and take some photos this weekend. I haven't entered a challenge in forever! It felt so good to be behind the lens again. I have to make time to do this more often

I hope you enjoy. I have about 100 other flower images from this trip. Too bad I missed the flower challenge a couple of weeks back...

First Impression: ok, I have my 'implied' head on so can just about see a circle!
Composition: The subject is too central for me and whilst the background is almost oof there are too many visible distractions. The viewpoint might give the implied circle but its pretty basic.
Subject: Flowers are deemed cliche at dpc and to score well they have to be unusual and outstanding, sadly this shows neither to my eye.
Technical: Focus on the flower is ok but not pin sharp and the top of the petal is a little overexposed. Your choice of dof blurred the background well but the actual background is still a little distracting
Final thoughts: An average shot of a flower, the composition and busy background with tenuous meeting of the challenge title make me think the final score was about right for this shot.
