As I was walking through my garden close to sunset, I captured a shot this wonderfully colorful pistil of a Echinacea purpurea (Purple Coneflower).

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Initial impression: Oh yeah, I've see those around here too, nice capture.

Technical: Composition plays safe in that it is very centred. Light and dof good. Colours are vibrant and attractive. I agree that a different crop may have helped give more of an abstract feel to shot.

Artistic: I like the near-zoomblur effect here to the heart of the pistil. Like the green leaf(?) in top left corner that helps break up the centredness and draws the eye away a little.

Overall: Not the most exciting shot in the challenge, it is quite apparent what it is. But your treatment of it makes it more interesting.

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

Beautyful picture, BUT, an abstract image is not representing or imitating external reality or the objects of nature

IMO I think this is to centered for me...if you had cropped from about the center out left or right that would been alot more abstract...
