I somehow knew that it was going to be tough for this picture to end up high. Nothing to do with the quality. Simply, the subject matter. The edgy comps have an uphill fight in DPC.
But let us talk about this one. Here you managed the triangle and in a most interesting manner. All the black leave unfinished, giving that grand trine feel. In other words the triangle continues outside the confines of the physical visible area. You did wise with the type selection. It fits the character of the smart composition. I believe you did everything correct. Even the color is good and so are the kisses. The only minor change I would have made was to shift over the song name and space it from the edge the same distance you did with DPC. However to end up at 5.4 with this concept is a good negation to those that love to vote down this image.

Personally I like this shot because it looks convincing and because it has a touch of humor. The composition is tight, the color is great and the general feel is "cool." I feel you did a very nice job and i feel it is complete.

Nice picture. I think the blue background is a little too dark. At this angle the miniature rose doesn't look that small.

Beautiful composition though the background is a little splotchy in places. It also might have been nice to see the roses by themselves (no greenery). All in all, a lovely entry.

Well composed. Vivid colors. What post process did you use?

i feel that the faded border draws attention away from your picture, and distracts the viewer away from the subjet.

Confusing, yet interesting. The hues are very well controlled. Bumping to 7

Nice flowers, but the rose in the center does not look so small...
