It’s been several decades since I’ve opened my photography up for critique. I was a photography major back in the day and gave it up as a professional track so i could feed and house myself. I now really only share my photos with three friends. But there isn’t much in the way of actionable feedback - I’d love to hear your thoughts.
This photo was taken on a piece of white paper under a skylight on a cloudy day with my iPhone. I made a few small edits to bring the reds out (such a hard color to get right in digital photography).
It's interesting. I like the composition, I like the hard light, and I like the fact that you can't really tell what's going on at first. There isn't an obvious spot in the photograph which draws the eye, which is a bit of a problem I think, but you do make up for a bit by putting the center of the flower on the line of thirds.
Overall I feel like this is a fairly successful shot!
Thanks! Yeah - I can see there being a need for more of a place for the eye to rest.
