I personally find the muted color of the flowers to detract from the shot. Perhaps if there was more contrast between the flowers and the background it would work better (but hard to do with basic editing rules). The daisy in the far left corner which is smaller and more closed seems to unbalance the shot a bit for me, as does the button on the background material.

Great lighting on the daisies! They seem a bit out of focus though, I don't quite understand the significance of the jeans background! But overall something about the shot just makes it work well! It could be the symmetry of the stitching on the jeans or the way flowers are placed! - 7

Very cute but a bit dark.

While I like the composition, I think the green is a bit overwhelming without enough contrast. Perhaps if the yellow was much more prevalent it would add a bit more punch.

Well colour wise I quite like it. Coming at it from the point of view of "why no comments" and "why so average" ..... I just think its a matter of competition context. In a free for all its not exactly an uplifting specimen to look at. In a named category such as "The last" or "end" I suspect you would have done a lot better. I don't find the daisy on the right adds much to the picture except where viewed in the context of the caption. If I'd voted (and I don't in challenges I enter, not until I can consitently get 6 or above) I would have probably given it a 6.

Comes off a bit dull and flat looking to me. I copied it into my image editor to see, and found the histogram to be flat on both light and dark ends. A quick levels adjustment would really brighten this up.

Beautyful picture, BUT, an abstract image is not representing or imitating external reality or the objects of nature

I'm a brown fan myself. Pretty dark image, and you have a lot of compression taking away some clarity.
