Purple Petunia 1 by Midnight-cardinal

Today's critique brought to you by: Midnight-Cardinal

Scores:
Overall: 4/5
Composition: 4/5
Emotion: 4/5

Overall: I like the bright colors and the depth of field. I don't like the red in the background, though.

Composition: I love the depth of field and the placement of the petunia. The light and dark purples contrast well with each other, as well as contrasting nicely with the rest of the picture. The red plant in the background is somewhat distracting.

Emotion: This reminds me of summer, flowers always do. It has nostalgia value, for me, because flowers are practically all I used to take pictures of, and some of my best pictures have been of flowers. I think beyond that, it could use some improvement in this category.

A bit about Midnight-Cardinal:
Rayna has only really been photography since last November. Luckily it's summer in New Zealand, so she has lots of time to practice and plenty of things to photograph, too. She's currently focusing on landscapes andnature, but she hopes to do chapter/story photography someday. She's got a great eye for interesting angles, and her gallery is very nice.

Tip of The Day:
If you find someone who takes photos that you really like, try to incorporate some of what they do into your work. It helps to create a style that is all your own, a style that fits your personality. This actually goes for all mediums.
