How the flower is laying face down on the headstone personalizes the flower - as though it is grieving at the grave. Evokes a strong sad emotion - well done:)

Sometimes one can gain a nice effect by considering where u place flower instead of right on top of stone further away by suspension or setting up a little differently and focus on subject..

Just a tibbet or something to try..

I like your composition, a good setup. But the flower doesn't seem to be in focus, it seems that the stone is what's in focus. I think in this case the flower needs to be sharp.

Voters are pretty definite about what they're looking for in a challenge like this, I guess. As you now know, a quickly snatched picture of an animal doesn't fit, whereas a quickly snatched picture of a person does.

Shame, really, as there's a whole load of doggy emotion (and lens licking) in this picture. We live and learn. At least you got the picture:)

Is that a gravestone? How very emotive to have that sad flower collapsed upon it.

Comment by Pikkel:
I think that is an entirely cool take on the challenge maybe a bit more focus towards the flower with the dof everywhere else but I don't know I like it and think it is a very unique pic.......but a dead flower makes me sad lol

Call me traditional, but I don't consider this to be a candid, as my idea of the genre is that it should include people.
