Greetings from the Critique Club :)
I'm not familiar with this song, but I can definitely relate your image to the title you chose :) The flower blossom is the first thing that catches my eye in this photo. I think that element of this photo is well-placed in the composition as well.
The toning here seems slightly odd for me for some reason, but I used a similar toning on a similar photograph recently, and I'm not sure why. The sepia toning is traditionally used for two reasons. #1- to add warmth and #2- add a sense of antiquity.
To me, this particular photo, even though it has a flower blossom as a primary subject, conveys a cold and dark feeling which is in slight contrast with the toning, in my opinion. The dates on the tombstone don't show any sense of antiquity to help support the toning of the photo.
I really do like the tilted compsition on this photo. The tilt adds a nice off-balance element that fits very well with the entire theme of this photograph. That was a great touch :)
Keep up the good work :)
