I like the idea of contrasting the plain Woody against the color of the flowers. However, the lighting (looks like a flash) really flattens the image and washes out textures.
Nice concept. I like the texture on the woodie, but don't care for the bright spots. Also something about the colours or focus of the flowers just really throws me off as well. But it is a very nice image overall.
Personally I don't get the reference to Mums, the image is good, little harsh on the lighting but doesn't really effect the photo, flowers look a little grainy made look at reducing the noise a bit if this is possible
