Hello Carol From the Critique Club
I really like your image and your choice for B/W
very good detail, focus is sharp and I think this says 'balance' you could try and tone down the middle tones to make it a bit darker as suggested in one of your comments but I like the way it is.
In the critiques Iv'e done so far I am finding that the 'nature' images didn't do so well in this 'Balance' challenge if you look at the top 10 images they are all objects balancing with the exception of one.
So in my opinion there is nothing I can see that is obviously wrong with your image it's just a matter of the voters went for the objects
In my own nature Balance entry I did very badly but I thought the Weta was in harmonious surroundings creating a balance but the voters didnt see that.
So we live and learn, I guess.
I liked the winners image very sharp and cleverly done but I'd rather look at an image like yours anyday so I find it very hard to say anything objective ( if I am real picky maybe the white on the stem on the top left flower is a bit harsh near the top and could be cloned out)
You had an average score for an image that will be liked by a whole lot of people myself included.
But for D P C ribbon winners, I think, they just have an edge somehow
I'd like to know how they do it!
I hope that you enjoy your photography. Good luck in the future challenges. I hope my comments help and if you have any questions please feel free to P M me
Regards
Sally |

| i think you need some true blacks, tones are very flat. What is it about the composition that you like? I like the top half alot and don't think the bottom half adds anything. |

Ahhh wish you had left the colors in this one. I don't get a real sense of balance in this which I'm sure you are hearing a lot. I think the idea was not that the photo was balanced but that the object was balanced.. but then I might be wrong heh.
Edit.. ok reread the rules and I was wrong. Readjusted your score :) |

| I really enjoy this. I like the multiple levels created by the flowers floating above the dark depths of the leaves. Very sharp, nice range of grays. 8 |
