Comment by tate:
A nice composition and lighting The subject is intriguing as well. Selective desat is a little too mainstream for me to think of modern art though.

Not sure what the objects are - some kind of brand, perhaps. Or maybe Welsh domestic doonackies.

Comment by Sirashley:
The strong points to this shot are a very clever desat and a very sharp contrast... The shot definitely works well in this challenge...

6 - A little more clarity on the flower, don't know, as is on the 'thing' at the fore.. I don't know what to focus on. The composition is nice...

Not always a fan of selective saturation, but this is nicely done. The light and shadow play is good too. I can see this as a mass produced poster (hope that doesn't come across as a bad thing) :)

Being of Welsh heritage I appreciate the daffodil and love spoon (not sure what the second object behind that is). No red dragons available?! Nice light, but the selective desaturation doesn't work for me here. I think that is because the area of color is relatively isolated from the rest of the image.

My canned response: whatever one's definition is of fine/contemporary/modern art, I think this entry is too much like business as usual at DPC. In this case: a flower photo, desat background. Nothing new enough, despite addition of some interesting props.

I like however the floor surface. It almost looks like an overlay.

I really like the texture and the way the angle of the light creates that shadow.
