Wow, very colorful! Good composition. Although it looks a little oversharpened! Nice still.

Most interesting combination of lines and light and textures. (Liked your weaver too, and your comments thereon. Combined with this one impresses me with your thoughtfulness as a photographer).

The short answer to your question: YES

You were going for something far to abstract for a DPC Love challenge. First, unfaithfulness is the antithesis of love and you most certainly were punished by voters for that. Next, the abstract nature of your presentation was to obscure for most voters. You further suffered from the flower backlash from voters who don't like flowers and from the DNMC contingent. In short, this image was doomed before it was entered.

The large out of focus yellow petals are a distraction in the composition that could be easily be corrected by taking a longer timed exposure picture at a narrower aperture for greater depth of field. It would likely require mounting your camera on a tripod if it wasn't already.

This has nice floral possibilities but was the wrong choice for the challenge. :(
