Seems a little flat - no clear subject to naturally draw the eye. The trees and posts leave it feeling a little cluttered. Maybe shoot for an angle that eliminates the trees and focusses instead on the building's features and the roses along the front?

Needs better lighting, imo. The face of the principal flowers are lost in shadow. It looks like the sun is coming in a window behind the subject. Try fill flash or change your angle to better illuminate the open petals.

Great colors, beautiful use of the smoke to add interest. Lose the border (IMO).

Outstanding conceptual accomplishment. I applaud you for your vision. The technical details, however, are somewhat deficient. It's very low contrast, especially on the right, and I think you could have gone for a tighter crop. The impact of your subject is diminished somewhat by the composition, and may have been stronger with a more centered approach. Love the border though.

I don't care for the crop and the image could have used a little more contrast. However, the emotional appeal is definitely there. This is a great idea. Keep working at it.

Simply beautiful. Great sense for how to compose and crop. Photo gets a 9 from me. Wish you had added some "ad copy."

Very well done ad, but I think with that copy, you'd have wanted to show off that curve.

Outstanding! I feel like I'm reading SI or US News. Definitely advertisement material and belies a very talented photographer behind the lens.
