Those feathers look HUGE. Where'd ya get those? I want some! I like the feathers and the rose, but the - eggs, I guess, look out of place. I wouldn't have put them together with the rose. Composition really throws me off because it's hard to know what the actual subject is - rose, feathers, or eggs. Would have liked a little more light on the rose, I think.

I am wondering if the rose should be illuminated a little more.

The backgound is very busy. It seems to take away from the rose.

The rose seems too dark to make a good impression on the viewer.

I love this... the color is phenomenal and I love the way the shadows create extra impact on this shot. I assume this is a piece hanging for sale in a shop somewhere maybe... I really would have like to see the P21 sticker removed, but it may not have been possible... = 10 for submitting this anyway... great shot and keep up the good work :) - setzler

The contrast of sharp angles with the curves of the overhang and street sign have a powerful impact with me. When a photographer can capture different textures and elements with in his shot, it shows me that they have an artful eye and are looking at the world from a different perspective. Your shot here shows just that. The bold oranges with the cool blue contrast beautifully to the eye as a perfect marriage of warmth and cold. The cold is further carried into the metal of the structure while the warmth is seen in the highkey of the sky and reflections off of the building.

Techinically I think that you have a very sharp picture. There is some edgies on the white curved part that are probably do in part to your compression of the image. I also am a little distracted by the noise in the sky. Both of those do not however take away from a strong composition.

This is a good shot! Keep them coming!
