Flowers in a rusty bucket

I like the idea behind the composition of the photo.

I do think that I would have cropped it tighter,the upper portion has the bright glare from the sky, that for me detracts from the main components of the photo.

I am also think that the crispness and clarity on the flowers and pail need to be better in focus.

The composition and impact of main components would really make for an exceptional photograph, if the issue I mentioned in my critique were corrected.

This is a fine photograph of this scene you helped create with the nice flowers and the old bucket. What a fine painting that would also make, artist friend. The green foliage and busy background are nice in this piece.

    Apparently it?s a little blurry which I didn?t realize. My prescription for my glasses really needs to be changed!

    Artist friend, in the front section which is seen in the smaller version, it doesn't appear blurry. I looked at my review. I didn't think it was blurry but you can sharpen it in photoshop, perhaps other programs, if you think so. You do such fine work, especially your painted land- and seascapes, flowers, etc.

Hi Jewell, Love your arrangement of flowers, especially in that old antique bucket. I don't think I 've ever seen a bucket like that. The bucket gives this a quaint rustic look. Love the location of your shot too. I think placing your bouquet on the moss covered rock was the perfect setting for the shot. Thanks for bringing a bit of spring into the still cold days here. Good luck in the contest! :o) Nancy

    I found this bucket on a walk around our property. I just had to use it in a setting! I realize now after a couple critiques that it?s a bit blurry. For some reason my flower photo?s always get extremely critical reviews

    I?m seeing that now. I actually think I accidentally posted the wrong image.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of your rustic arrangement. Textures, colours and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

There's such a lovely feel of summer in this shot, it makes my impatience for for warmer weather even worse! Lol
A lovely backdrop for your pretty display and I particularly like the moss covered rock you've placed them on. Best wishes for the competition.

What a lovely sight for the tired eyes. You must be a proud and happy woman having such lovelies around you. You have shot well. The light and shadows, colours and, composition have worked out well. Good luck!

I love the variety of floral posts. The complex arrangement of flowers fills the central portion of the scene. The balance of the scene is filled with greenery and vegetation. The entire scene is Spring.

A very nice array of colourful flowers in this rusty bucket. This presentation really gives it a feel of 'old' country nature with the rusty textured bucket. The surrounding green of nature and pink flowers in the foreground are a lovely touch to the whole picture. All the best in the contest!
