Critiques


:iconastroquicky:
This picture definitely attracts attention, as it has something intriguing going on. The mind wants to know what it is seeing.

The lighting adds mystery with its darkness yet colours the rose nicely. The level of detail in the water droplets both on the rose and in the air is extraordinary. Your technique seems to be flawless here. At least I can't find anything wrong with it.

My main problem with this picture is that the eye doesn't really know where it is supposed to focus. On the rose which is the only thing in colour and consists of concentric circles (the rose petals) that lead the eye to its center, or on the mushroom of water where the line through the rose and up the water seems to go to. Also, what is both intriguing and a little annoying is that it's really hard to figure out what exactly is happening with the water. It's not at all obvious how the flow of water has been created. On the one hand this lets the viewer think, on the other hand... it frustrates me that I can't figure out!

In essence, well done!

Although I'm not entirely sure what's happening in this picture it is incredibly beautiful. The picture is very detailed and the colour is elegant and rich. The droplets of water look absolutely amazing. The mushroom water is interesting...ugly with the beautiful? That's a good contrast. I don't know if the main focus of the picture is supposed to be that the water is making a mushroom shape from a rose or if its just supposed to be a beautiful picture to look at and you see what you see, but either way at first i didnt see the mushroom in the picture so i was kind of confused and just thought it was a picture of the rose and some water bouncing off of it. Either way its still a beautiful picture.

"It is better, I think, to grab at the stars than to sit flustered because you know you cannot reach them. At least he who reaches will get a good stretch, a good view, and perhaps even a low-hanging apple for his effort!"

That would have taken a while to get done! Brilliant!
