Critiquing, judging and Scoring of Photographs

GladiolaWhen someone reviews our work we need to keep in mind that it is the photographer’s opinion of the image that is important.  If the photo-artist has achieved an end result that they are pleased with no matter what another may say it the image is a success.  The person doing the critique is only expressing their opinion which is colored by their experiences and predilections.

The flower photographed here appears to have been filtered for effect.  It has a soft pink cast overlaying the subject.   The photo-artist appears to have eliminated most of the black level layers thou when you check it there are still quite bit of the dark part of the curve in the photograph. 

I don’t know what it is about this simple flower shot that makes me feel threatened.  Perhaps it’s the open mouth, the blood red haze, or just the feeling that this plant could eat meat.  Does this remind anyone else of the Little Shop of Horrors?
