Over bright at bottom. Too much empty at the top. Out of focus. Mets challenge. Good idea but needs better execution. PTL 4

Kinda fun, but the effect seems to have taken some of the sharpness away. 6 Swash

Nice idea (invert) but you should have shot something that files the frame better and produces more blue flowers.

A bit too washed out at the bottom. Nice shades of blue, though.

Comment by Arachnophilia:
i'd just like to comment in response to a few comments i received.

po: i did not cut and paste anything. this is a photo. i will show you the original if you like. the background was sky, which was so bright in contrast to the flowers that camera captured it as white. cutting and pasting would be illegal. the only cut was to remove the top 53 rows of pixels to bring it down to 640x427

the blown out effect was intentional. i liked it in the original, so i played with the contrast etc to accentuate it. same with the colors.

yes. it is supposed to be lacking detail, have bright colors, lots of negative space, and be a little of the fuzzy side. thank you for noticing.

if anyone is interested, the title and inspiration came from a song by nine inch nails called "i'm looking forward to joining you, finally"
