Comment by zarniwoop:
I really like the concept here, but I feel that the lighting was far too harsh for the subject. There's a child -like innocence lying in the photo that could easily be brought oout if it weren't for the prison wall spotlight effect you have. Now I find lighting very difficult: I don't have any, but a couple of lamps or simply shooting outside on a cloudy day (perfect for still life) would really have boosted your score.

BTW thanks for your comment; I completely disagree with you, but it's a matter of opinion.

Wow, I am not sure how you did this but its a neat picture. Love how the color pops this flower right out at you. I might have cropped the top part off a bit. It is a bit distracting. That might strengthen this picture. Good job.

Comment by bbmohr:
nice shot. a little less depth of field might have brought out the flower even more.

Personally I would have liked it to either be all in color or not.

Why did you desaturate? Ponds usually have such great contrast and colors to capture.

Comment by beckettboots:
The dof and composition in this are confusing, though it's on topic. The colors seem odd and the exposure is blown out without details to retain my interest.

Moody and mysterious. Probably just as you planned it. It worked!

The foreground is too distracting for me.

Strange colour, maybe push the colour a bit more with hue and saturation to bring out the odd pinkness in the sky? Seems to work with the purple CA on the grass.

I'm afraid I can't say I like the picture much though, sorry.
