Why the grainyness?

I wonder how this might look if the flowers were off to the side? Or even all the way in an upper corner of the photo. I love the grain here - it adds a lovely, brooding mood, which is contrasted strangely by the bright colors. And for some reason, I like how you cut of the top of the flower. :D Perhaps because it's so unusual, and gives the rather over-photographed subject a totally new perspective. good job. :)

I'm sure you've had several comments already, so I'll refrain from any harsh critique. I'll only mention there are several good applications for reducing image noise in post-processing.

The image looks like it has quite a bit of artifacting, I don't know if that is intentional, but to my eyes it is a tad distracting. The connection to "something new" is a bit on the weak side. Otherwise, I really like the shot! A different look at geraniums, it is not usually a flower that is shown from underneath. The colours are quite beautiful also. ~7

over-sharpened. would have been much nicer with natural blur.
