Day 6 Viola

I've been looking at this one for a while. There's something very attractive about it. The flower looks so sad, but it's so clear. I really, really wish I could see it without the petal cut off at the top right. I like the diagonal feel. The colours are great. I particularily like how well you caught the purplish edges to the petals, they're beautiful!

At first reaction, it's not an image that screams, "Look at me!" It's more of an image that grows on you, maybe even one that has a personal history, one where you might have a connection to the image that the rest of us can only guess. That's probably too much.

As for it being in the "Postcard" challenge, it doesn't scream postcard in the stereotypical definition of postcard. Card yes, but not postcard. That's probably the biggest reason why people didn't appreciate it during the challenge.

As for the image itself, the technicals seem fine, and the composition is OK also. It's an odd picture in a way, the gentle, light colours of the rose against the dark, broody fence, the dark dead rose crossing over in front and then behind the young rose, a picture of contrasts in a way. I think you're right, it probably makes a beautiful print. What's funny is that images that look good on the net don't necessarily make good prints (and the other way around too).

I hope this helps a tad.

They do look like they're trying to run away from you. Probably that big, scary camera, got them all scared.

I think the colours are beautiful as they are. It could use a bit more punch.
