I would crop out a lot of the white at the bottom. To my eye, it really doesn't add anything.

I'm missing the sympathy reference. Good shot, but it seems a little grainy. I like the use of whitespace.

Definetely have the sympathy feeling going here. I probably would have cropped it the other direction, so there wasn't all the empty white space a t the bottom.

My only problem with this is that sympathy is multi faith and non-faith related. I guess you just wouldn't give this one to a Buddhist or Muslim. Hmmmmm

The composition is good and the use of negative space is well done. Nice contrast with the yellow of the flower and the black of the book. Just wish it wasn't a Christian symbol as sympathy is not just for those who believe in Jesus. I think I would have titled it Sympathy: Christian but that's just me.
