Title: Happy



Jurors Scores Critiques
Larry Breitkreutz 5 Nice rich complementary colours. Unfortunately, the image is overexposed, and depth of field is somewhat shallow.
   
Allen Bargen 6 Nice find. The centre of the flower is well handled, while the rest of the flower is soft to quite soft. There are some minor flaws on the petals, which should be dealt with.

Be aware of the background in your photos, the yellow flowers up top are a distraction. Be careful with your processing, there is some evidence of haloing.
   
Richard Shapka 6 Good use of complimentary colors of flower and background, as well as the yellow/gold tones of the image. Reduce exposure by at least 2/3 – 1 stop, to provide more detail without having to sharpen.

Focus is not on ‘pistal’ or yellow centre of flower. There is a distracting halo surrounding most left side petal.
   
Total Score: 17
