 Very simple subject...just used my improvised handmade to photograph indoor and tryed to get a good angle...I see two problems in this shot, which are the position of that petal at the bottom left and the small parts of the sunflower leafs at the back. I really like the colors and i loved to take a macro of a sunflower.
Crop, levels, saturation on green, resize and that's it.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Initial impression: Nice macro of a sunflower, but doesn't quite scream 'circle'! as the voters here like to see.

Technical: Very nice lighting, great colours, no hotspots, good dof. In terms of compostion, a bit too centred, plays safe in that there is no pov, use of thirds, leading lines etc to add interest.

Artistic: Yes, it basically is circular in shape...but it's not a perfect circle, and that's why you were punished in terms of votes. Even so you only just finished below 5, so it isn't THAT bad! :-)

Overall: Keep shooting. Pay heed to the comments, learn, and keep shooting.

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

nice colors, but the subject isn't doing it for me in this challenge, 5.

if you put a circle around it, it fits, but it isn't a circle in the technical sense. Nonetheless my rating system gives you a 4
