Hmmm...the 'flowers of sickness'? Or 'the ill flowers'? I know it's something along that line. Anyway I can see why it scored so low, there is very little if any sand in the shot...partly told me that it was a posty! :-) But I do like the glowy effect and the way the eye goes from bottom left to top right. The crop could be a little tighter but otherwise it's fine technically for what you were going for.
Interesting choice of subject matter and treatment for this challenge but that goes without saying; I see more of a fleeting of innocence than the more ominous air seen by others.
Hmmmm. What does the title mean in English? Like the black and white, but the ghost treatment doesn't work for me. In a way, there is a sinister quality to the photo. From an artistic standpoint, I guess that the flower represent death buried underneath in the sand, and the ghostly fog is the spirit being releases?
