Our photo for this week’s critique is “Regal.” It’s shows a pink and purple flower. I believe it’s a peony but I’m not certain. The picture was taken in June. Let’s discuss what works well and what needs improvement.
I love the sharpness of the pink flaky petals. You can see the details in the petals like the smooth texture and the transition in colour.
Speaking of colours, the colours in this photo rock. The different shades of pink are the stars of the show. Bold purple petals lie behind the pink centre and creates a beautiful background.
Here, the focus isn’t on the exact centre of the flower. Should I have focused in the centre? Would that make a better photo?
This was a very tight, close-up shot of the flower. Am I too close? Would backing up a bit help with the composition?
Please let me know what you think! Thanks!
