 I used a mounted flash and bounced it off the wall. I adjusted levels, then sharpened.

GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

WHAT! No comments! No fair.
Well at least the Critique Club is here.
:-))

First, it's a pretty flower with lovely color. I think you captured the color very well. Orchids are delicate flowers so, yes, you were on the path to meet the Challenge criteria.

I would suggest that your background is a bit dark (not delicate) and a bit busy for this lovely orchid. Perhaps a lighter color or even a sheet of poster paper behind the orchids would have made your flowers pop nicely. Then, if it was mine, (And I know it isn't) I'd probably have gotten more to the level of the flower. The angle in this picture is slightly above the blossoms - meeting them head-on would have given a bit more impact to their beauty. A different angle would also make it possible to crop in to the main event easier, too.

Summary? great start. A little more practice, experimentation and lots of different angles on your subject. Then your images will be on their way up the DPC ladder.

good luck!
