Comment and critique requested please. Thanks for looking, Pauline

It's sharp where it should be and the out of focus background teasels add to the sense of depth of the image. A pleasant arrangement just leaving me a bit uninspired by the actual subject. The wide border is bold and complements the colours in the image and I could imagine it as a print mounted on a board of that colour. This could work. Usually it doesn't, but here could be one of the rare exceptions.

I think you've made a good job of this, just not the most exciting subject. Hope that doesn't sound over-critical, it's not meant to!

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I do agree it is lacking something, I was hoping for a goldfinch to land on it as they are apparently rather fond of teasels but it wasn't to be

Hi Pauline

I agree with John's summation, but it's well taken and a good test of your photographic skills and I'm sure you enjoyed the practice. If it was a brightly coloured flower it might have more impact.

Thanks for posting.
