It's too humorous to depict despair in any serious fashion.

Hi Swash...I gave you a 5...composition is great,the background gives the subject a dramatic impact. My concern was with the thick greenish stems(?)in the upper right and lower right corners..I would have cropped them off. Sorry it didn't do well. Mine didn't either.

lol, ok you made me laugh.. as for the shot, I might have tried darken the color channel of the background so it looked washed out and the texture and wrinkles could not be seen... might take doing in layers, but I think this technique works well in hiding the source of the background...

O.K. if anybody would care to be honest or mean or "pick your descriptor" and tell me. What is really really bad about this photo?

No distracting background; it meets the challenge; focus isn't horrible; lighting isn't great, but it's not horrible; it's a flower, but not a boring, uninteresting one - pick another issue.

The picture is sort of "scratchy"/noisy, but the lighting's fine and stuff
