		| | Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club 
 First Impression: Rather than being drawn to the texture of the dead flowers I'm distracted by the rather boring wall.
 
 Composition: The central composition isn't doing this image any harm, then again, its not very interesting.
 
 Tecnical: This doesn't 'pop' or have any 'wow' factor for me, exposure is ok but the focus is a little soft in places
 
 Artistic: For me this is rather bland and have much artistic value sorry.
 
 Overall thoughts: I guess you chose this location for the nice little crack? but I think it was the wrong choice. I just glanced at your profile and saw your top 2 submissions are flowers and am sure you agree that they are so much better than this.  5.5 is a good final score I think.
 
 Get in touch if you'd like to discuss further Gennaro.

		| | Now this is nice. I love the way the crack in the wall seems to represent a rift between the two flowers as if they were two people who have argued or split which seems to be reflected in the title. Good work |

		| | With so many beautiful flowers entered in this challenge I think it was a misstep to choose something dead and bland. 3. |

		| | I like the dried roses and the crack in the wall. I think the composition could be improved by not centering it as much. |
