I think it is quite an effective and emotional shot but I don't think the letterbox treatment did it any favours at all.

I agree ... clone out that edge of halo on the top petal and this is one to go on the wall.

Entrance to the Hearth

Yeah ... English is not your mother tongue, I presume since you said hearth instead of heart, but that took nothing away from the photo for me. Unless you really meant the english word hearth as a double entendre but probably not.

The person that said the hot spot on your knuckle should have been burned in, the guy with no camera, must have missed the fact that this was a Basic Editing Rules Challenge that does not permit that. Besides ... that is surely what the knuckle would have looked like IRL and doesn't NEED to be fixed even if it WAS an Advanced Editing Rules Challenge IMO.

I LOVE the transition with the VERY dark background to the sweater to the speckled grey undershirt.

The only fault that I can find here is that the focus could be a TAD sharper and not so soft (a touch of Unsharp Mask might have made that not so obvious?) and that the bottom eighth of the image could have been lopped off for a more dynamic image.

All that said. I think this is a very warming and poignant image.
