I too feel that this should have scored higher. This is a beautiful and delicate representation of a sympathy card. I love the processing that you did--excellent job! I wouldn't change a thing. I have no idea why this did not score in the high 6 range. I just don't get it. Sorry I couldn't give you a better critique. I really don't see anything at all I would change. Better luck next time I guess.
nice - i almost used this exact type of flower as my card. very pretty - i like the way the background flower is dead / wilted .. i'm assuming you planned this (sympathy) .. extra points there ..let's go 8!
One of the more emotive cards of the challenge!
There are so many different meanings to this picture.
I love the quality of the photograph, as the fron flower is in perfect focus and the back looks more like a painting. (and I always love shallow DOF shots)
But what's making it so unique IMO is the colors. The bright colors of the front flower bursting through the gray...
I hope you make this one available for prints, incase I need a sympathy card.
A good fit with the challenge. Nicely composed and good colours. I really wish you could have cleaned up the flower of the little imperfections, especially the one purple dot.
