I can see why you like this one. The oranges, the greens, and the touch of purple is a lovely combination. However, this doesn't really fit "art" in my mind.

I've been kicking around the idea of what is art. I'm one of those sorely lacking in any formal background. To me, art is something that transcends the norm. Something that makes you feel, think -- something that intrigues you, makes you want to go back and explore deeper and deeper and deeper. Something that haunts you, excites you, makes you feel something.

While this is lovely, it goes in the category of more journaling a pretty flower. There are so many gorgeous flower pictures, but it's rare that they make me feel anything but "what a lovely flower". ursula I think is an incredible example of creating art with flower.

I like everything about this image except the out-of-focus petals in the front.

7 from me! could use a bit more contrast of tones to score higher, I think.

I like the concept. Shallow depth of field. The shell on the right is not focused like the other two.

Nice idea. The lighting doesn't really work for me though. JMO :)

Nice use of shallow dof. I like the shells. I find the edge of the counter, and lines of its intersection with the wall and corner very distracting. To me the image has multiple focuses and can't make up its mind what it is showing the viewer.

That star is appealing. I think a 6.0

With only the sunstar as the major feature, I think you will not get more than 5.1.
