Film Camera, whats that! Love this image. Took me a minute to figure out it was glass between the flowers & the camera! Nice color grouping.

Nice execution, but little interest

Comment by fencekicker:
The reflection of the bottom edge of the glass distracts from the interest at the top. A different background (blue?) would help the spider and glass to stand out more. Nice idea.

Great idea. Wish the spider was more in focus though.

Comment by JulieG:
There's quite a lot of negative space on the right. Also the glass on the bottom is out of focus and I think that the image could be made square, with that part cropped out.

Metaphorically. It represents the sense of being overwhelmed by your environment, of losing your sense of identity. It even suggests death, the way the body is reclaimed by the earth. Yes, I'm a poet. :)

But I also have a taste for the flatness of an image. I like the way this picture has one texture throughout and the dog as such is seen only as a disruption of the texture. Instead of "popping" from the frame, the dog humbly melds into the environment, and that humility is echoed in her expression.

After all, I could have easily distinguished the dog from its environment by leaving in the color. :)
