Ellow, noob here.
Can you guys please tell me if this pic is underexposed?
I'm submitting it tomorrow and I'm kinda unsure.
And please feel free to critique.

In terms of "correct exposure" it is underexposed, but in terms of creative exposure, it's even worse.

Tell me, what are the positives of this picture? I can pull up five better ones on google or flickr.
This is a fail picture, and you should fail your critique.

I fell nothing but pity for you.

Thanks for the quick response.
Any other way I could've make this picture better?
Since you said it was a phail picture it couldn't have failed on exposure alone?

Btw in this assignment i was supposed to take pictures of flowers in the morning. Preferably closeups.

This is the easiest assignment ever. Just worry about composition and exposure because the subject takes care of itself here. Since you're taking shots of flowers, you have to bring out what's best about them. Their colors!

Don't suppose you'd be willing to divulge some of your photoshop secrets? Because honestly what you did there is amazing!

seconded

Thanks!
Playing around with the levels and curves really improved the picture.
But, correct me if I'm wrong, I think the underexposed-ness of the picture sorta made the noise more prevalent.
If its not too much to ask, how do I take care of that?
Googling for solutions after I post this.

In return, Carps. Lotsa Carps.

I guess my ISO was too low.
Or I didn't wait long enough.
