Viewed at 100%, the flower petals become a little "muddied," and look as if painted rather than photographed.

OK
Thanks

Hello,

The 'halos' around the out-of-focus flower may have been of a concern:

The second thing to consider is that there are gazillions of flower photos in the database, so quite honestly, I wouldn't bother uploading such flower photos. 

Composition is another thing to consider as well.

How does yours compare to these?

I also think it needs sharpening and the long white object needs to be removed.

I agree with @ricky336 on the halo. But in addition you have a high noise level in the background and the focus plane does not lie exactly on the petal. As there are abundantly many flower pictures in the database, vetting of new ones is much more stringent than other subjects, less represented.

Hi @arturv16597247 ,

You have too much of a shallow depth of speed and too slow shutter speed. As a result too much of your subject is out of focus plus, the moving element is captured with a double edges.

Best wishes

Your picture of the water lilies is beautiful, showcasing vibrant colors and clear details. However, there are a few areas where it can be improved. Ensuring that the flowers are in sharp focus is crucial, and using a tripod can help achieve this. The lighting is generally good, but soft natural light from early morning or late afternoon would enhance the image further. The background is a bit busy, so adjusting the composition to follow the rule of thirds could make the flowers stand out more. Additionally, managing reflections and using a shallow depth of field to blur the background can highlight the water lilies as the main subject. Post-processing adjustments in brightness, contrast, and saturation can also bring out the vividness of the image. Cropping to focus more on the flowers can improve the overall composition.

As someone with experience working on a website dedicated to flowers' names in different languages with pictures, I understand the importance of high-quality images to convey flowers' beauty and diversity effectively. This expertise allows me to appreciate the nuances of flower photography and the impact of a well-captured image on your audience. If you have specific concerns or notice something particular that seems off, please let me know, and I can provide more targeted advice!
