Really struggled this week for an idea. found this lonely poppy at the side of the road. Thought I'd explore PS7 for a bit of creativity. No filters used.

Did u hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete Proving nature's laws wrong it learned 2 walk without having feet Funny it seems but by keepning its dreams it learned 2 breathe fresh air Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else cared! - Tupac Amaru Shakur
I like the way the red stands out. I would also like to see the original, maybe with a soft focus, or slight blur, just to see if the "mood" changes dramatically.
I'm not really into the saturation. I think the shot is very cool and has potential though. I'd use zoom to crop out some of the sky but keep the rose in position as well.
I like it, the splash of red on an otherwise muav (is that that somewhat purpilish color?) background. And I figure you had to be 'On the Road' to thae this picture. High marks in my book.
Like the colors, not a big fan of this type of thing, but overall the composition is ok. I wish the horizon was straight. The power lines are kind of out of place IMO. Giving you a 7 for imagination and originality.
I think this would have been an excellent photo without the heavy modifications... When a photo is modified to the point where it doesn't look like a photo anymore, it loses points on my scale :(
A stunning photo, and even a bit frightening. The unconfortable oversaturated colour gives the photo a very special feeling and a big contrast of the road and the red flower. Eye-catching!
