i defocused the flower in the front, as this is something currently living. the dead blooms on each side represent something old while the flowers just blooming represent something new.

Not a 300*200 pixel photo again... :-( Are you people putting up so small photos driving me mad on purpose?!
Nice idea and colours but it's too small, the flower is unsharp, and old is not accented enough on your shot. Focusing on the not-yet-bloomed and dry flowers and shooting a macro would have been a better idea in my opinion, the unfocused blooming flower has a distracting effect on the story you wanted to tell me. Good idea, maybe presentation and quality will be better next time.
The title is great, but you's sold your photo short by not using the full 640pixels allowed. The image is too small to see what you were trying to get at. IMHO.
Check the forums for instructions on how to resize pictures in your software or read the help file. You will find that this will suffer terribly because of the small size. Also looks a bit blurred.
Good idea, but maybe the effect would have been better if the present flower would not have been in the center? I really hope for you that people read your title before voting
at least to me, image size is important. 640 pixels makes a much better image with more detail. if you are having size problems search in forums for help.
