Found this tucked under a lightning conductor and thought it came out quite well. Cropped to frame better, resized, no editing. Taken on my second trip out just after I got my first DSLR.

This may have a different feel if you try black and white...

As an emotive photo, this is a nice shot... the drying flower on a stark, cold background.
03/17/2009 10:15:07 AM
The colors in this are subdued but look nice and antiquish.

Sad and wonderful.

Good shot and DOF. Nice angle.

The grass withers, the flower fades. Interesting juxtaposition of cold hard stone and steel with the remains of the living.

little boring really
03/16/2009 02:50:20 AM
Well captured and presented.

Dried, forgotten, rose, trapped by the shackles of marriage.
03/15/2009 11:23:31 PM
interesting perspective - a bit borring though
03/15/2009 09:59:43 PM
I would preferred just a zoom in on the flower with the background that you have now (without the metal pieces) , it would been a lot better IMO. The metal is this shot is distracting
03/15/2009 09:52:05 PM
I like the angle though the out of focus thing-a-ma-jig is a bit distracting.
03/15/2009 03:42:41 PM
Well composed, perhaps a B&W treatment could benefit this image.
03/15/2009 12:11:35 PM
dof works well, just a little flat in the light
03/15/2009 12:00:33 PM
Interesting, makes me wonder what the metal thing is.
03/15/2009 07:01:24 AM
sorry just two , its not so interesting and the quality is also not so good

:(

nice eye
03/13/2009 10:11:27 AM
nice DOF, blurring all but the flower brings attention to the flower, well done
03/12/2009 11:05:58 PM
There's a great story in this shot, mysterious and sad.
03/12/2009 08:01:53 PM
Good on you for seeing the art in this. A little flat with the colors and tones but still a nice artistic feel.
03/12/2009 06:14:57 PM
Has a sad feel.
03/12/2009 01:18:14 PM
Very disorientating. I'm not sure which way is up, and which way is down.
03/12/2009 11:12:59 AM
A single withered rose lay resting as tribute to her memory.
03/11/2009 09:35:08 PM
just doesn't catch my eye
03/11/2009 08:51:47 PM
The bolt in the foreground is very distracting.
03/11/2009 05:43:40 PM
I like the dof
03/11/2009 02:52:12 PM
Good dof. The flower's a little too centred to me.
03/11/2009 02:34:21 PM
Interesting shot. I am curious to see where you took this photo.
03/11/2009 12:01:25 PM
great shot
03/11/2009 10:32:50 AM
Great job with the textures and composition.

Nice capture of the old flowers. It gives the whole a sad feeling.

weird and funky.. I like.. the bolt is a bit overpowering in the foreground but I like the rose and the tones.

A closer crop on a more interesting background may have gained you a higher score.
