A traditional Welsh holiday celebrated on March 1 and symbolized by the daffodil. The Welsh love spoon is another symbol.
3 exposure HDR plus a layer of texture from my the slate on my back patio. Off camera flash above the flower through a snoot. A small amount of smoke from a Halloween smoke machine.

Not always a fan of selective saturation, but this is nicely done. The light and shadow play is good too. I can see this as a mass produced poster (hope that doesn't come across as a bad thing) :)
Being of Welsh heritage I appreciate the daffodil and love spoon (not sure what the second object behind that is). No red dragons available?! Nice light, but the selective desaturation doesn't work for me here. I think that is because the area of color is relatively isolated from the rest of the image.
My canned response: whatever one's definition is of fine/contemporary/modern art, I think this entry is too much like business as usual at DPC. In this case: a flower photo, desat background. Nothing new enough, despite addition of some interesting props.
I like however the floor surface. It almost looks like an overlay.
Would I hang it on my wall. Perhaps, I like the composition. I judge on what I would hang in my apartment. I would like to see this smaller and in a "large" frame. Just like good art should be. I give you positive 6
