 Taken outside the office of a coworker in my office building. The background is a bit distracting, but I didn't want to move anything without permission.

The paper rose is beautiful, but the background is rather distracting.

A little bit out of focus and would have been much better on another background ...

this is really nice paper rose, I do think the background is distracting...maybe a piece of black card underneath would of been better.

I think you didn't understand Magrittes thoughts behind his image 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe'. It shouldn't have been used for this picture. Nice origami though, if you had chosen a decent background and softer lighting this image would have come out really well. 5.

Beautiful paper rose! But the background is very, very distracting. The picture could be brighter to bring out the pink.
