		| | Nice DOF to get the focus of the eye to the flower.  Some probably saying the foliage is distracting, but I like to see REAL images sometimes.  Would like to see the exposure a little different to get some detail in the sky. |

		| | The juxtaposition of nature and barbed wire is fairly interesting, but I feel like the focus isn't particularly on one or the other. |

		| | Great find; lovely flowers.  I understand the whole delicate-flower-blooming-in-spite-of-razor-wire concept, and the composition does enhance the concept as well, but there are a few things that are not working for me while I view the image.  I think the foreground OOF elements distract rather than enhance this particular image, and the stick/stem going through the top half really distracts as well.  The whiteness of the background make the image a bit confusing because it's difficult to tell if it is sky and you are outside, or if it is a backdrop, or something else.  The composition seems a bit cluttered and crowded, and the razor wire being OOF (even though it's purposeful) also is a distraction.  Maybe a wider view or crop that shows more flower, less clutter of leaves/stems might be better.  I could be all wrong though.  I am by no means an expert and am just calling it as it comes to mind.  You obviously have a keen eye for what others probably pass by daily and never notice...which is the best gift a photographer can possibly have.  Good luck in this and in future challenges.  :) |

		| | Beautiful flowers, but the grasses around them and infront of them really take away from you photo. |

		| | I like how I was surprised by the barb. Good, dynamic composition. 7 |
