I'm just not sure what this would convey from a "postcard" perspective. It's a decent shot, but just not something I would think of purchasing. It has a depressing feel to it with the dead stalk and the drooping pink rose. Score: 4.

I'm giving this one a 10. I see it as a tribute to Andi's daughter Rose. PM me after the challenge if you don't know what I'm talking about. The photo is nice and although I'm not sure what its a postcard for or from, it evokes emotion for me and that's why its getting a 10.

OOF and I don't think this is in the right cahllenge, or maybe it is and I don't understand why it's a postcard or where it wants me to GO

Comment by Rae-Ann:
You do indeed have plenty of spots! But it is OOF and a little too snapshot- like for my tastes

Am just revisiting. I suspect you got 'average' votes in the main because the image lacks impact, IMHO. The sky, which was your reason for the shoot in the first place, was so dramatic it deserved more of the frame, and I would have personally been tempted to crop more of the ground off and possibly the area to the left of the needle. A bit of USM and possibly a bit of play with the colours would have given you the WOW you needed for this shot.

Having said all that, when I voted, I gave it a 7. Why didn't I comment at the time? Dunno.
