You coloured my worldby
SueWComment by Efergoh: I like this. I'm not entirely sure why, either.
...lets see....
The composition is forced. The items in the frame are pretty random and seem totally unrelated to one another. The plant and pot are really dark which gives contrast to the rest of the items, but the contrast of the shot over all could be a bit higher, I think...or even red channel only.
When I fist glanced, I thought that perhaps this was a "cheater," but I quickly realized that this is not a separate capture, but rather a photo of a photo.
And since part of the photo within has been desat'd, I'm pulled even more to see that it is the person within that photo that is the real subject. One would ask why use the photo? Why not the person himself? The use of past tense of the title makes me thing that this person is no longer available for photos. Perhaps a former lover, or even a departed one. Either way, it lends itself to the emotion of image.
I'm struggling with how you composed the image, but the concept behind it is solid. I give just as much credence to concept as I do visual appeal, so I'm still putting you down for an 8
