Comment by Louis:
Pretty. I dislike forced metaphors, so I must ignore your title. Is it fine art? I don't think it is, but it is delicate, if not somewhat overdone in post (too sharp, levels or something too adjusted). I would have enjoyed this in a deeply contrasted split tone... maybe reds in the highlights and blue in the shadows. I think the falling leaf is contrived, and I don't like it. The composition is too centred, and would have benefitted from a different choice of framing. Lots of space on the left, I think. Plus, I don't understand what it is, other than what you think I should be thinking. I'm looking for some kind of connection, in all of these images, and it's difficult to find one.

Good concept, and nice execution, what the heck is that sitting in?

I like the sense of the stems looking like ballet dancer's arms. This is most definitely artsy. 7

Very artistic shot, honestly, reminds me of something I'd see in a Tim Burton film... Good concept and execution too! Great shot

I really like the setup as it gives such a murky feel. Nice.

Would I hang this on my wall. Perhaps, I like the composition. I judge on what I would hang in my apartment. I would like to see this smaller and in a "large" frame. Just like good art should be. I give you positive 7

Comment by Nadine_Vb:
The underground where the vase is on looks like a stream of paint. Too bad about the "artefacts" created by the processing. I always hate when that happens and you can't get rid of it.
