I like the colors and the framing/composition on this. Something just seems off to me. I'm seeing it as kinda flat, but I'm not sure what it needs to really make it *pop* Sorry. karmat

Comment by Swashbuckler:
The colors don't seem natural, so I am assuming the colors were tweeked. That said, this is interesting, but maybe a little overly tweeked for my tastes. The background interests me, if for nothing else, wondering how it was achieved. Challenge well met, decent focal range, nice framing.... Didn't like this shot very well at first, but it grows on you, plus I cannot really gripe about the photography skills, so I going to raise your score from 6 (bad first impression) to 8, favorable review upgrade!

i really like this photo. The tonal background is a perfect compliment to the aging hydrangea. Very well done.

Comment by Agamemnon:
I think this looks quite good visually/artistically, however I expect that it will suffer greatly in scoring because it looks like an art piece rather than a photograph. Some people are (very) touchy about blurring the line between the two, much more than I am. That asside I would add that it does seem a little over-sharpened, but that I think the colors work. --7 Agamemnon

Interesting choice of processing effects - Im not sure it doesn't detract a litetl from the shot. I like the way the flowers are alive on one side and dead on the other. But that is hidden by the processing.

Very pretty. This would look nice printed on a card with a vellum overlay with the writing. An invitation of some sort. seems a little too...sharpened maybe? not sure

This is a well composed photo... the color adjustments just don't grab me... the colors seem to contradict with each other... - jmsetzler
