Nice portrait, perhaps a little too dark (but it may just read that way because of all the dark lines). The jigsaw filter is always cool, however, I don't see any concept of "falling apart" Yes, there is a drop shadow and a little motion blur on the lower pieces (that is distracting). You could have, for example, had the complete puzzle "falling apart" into various chunks at different angles and still used the filter. So I would give this a 7, but since it did not meet the challenge a -3 brings this to a 4.

i don't know what the other commenters see but honestly ,to me, this is boring, its a picture of a bird, dead center, lighting inst interesting, color isn't interesting, no textures or interesting backgrounds.

sorry to be blunt but i don't see the point in this image besides wanting to enter something in this challenge.

clearly you followed the established the composition rules, its works well however its lacking depth in the texture. the color fading out to white works well, but as i said earlier i want to feel the texture of the flower and i cant.

of course it minimal editing so you couldn't do much. I'd love to see this processed. you did as best you could within your limits.
