The little curls within the flower really add a lot to this photo. Nice detail. I also like your framing. Th eflower in the lower left is the only thing I would remove.

Nice work. Your background works very well to divide the image into two parts: one part frames the living flower (left) and the other frames the dying flower (right). I think all of your visual cues are working together here - and everything, including your title, captures the "opposite" concept.

Nice job! I like the bright background behind the yellow flower and dark behind the dying. This adds more impact to your image.

I'd like to see the dead dandelion more centered vertically.

I like the way that the living flower is in the light and how that dying flower head leans to the dark.

I originally had scored this lower, but on a second round, I looked again and decided that I do like this shot quite a bit. The border isn't bad, and the focuse is nice. I also like the way you cropped the shot. I gave you a 7 :)

This is the absolute best one I have seen yet - Perfect focus, contrast, background, colors, and perfectly in the theme! A 10 for you my friend!

One of the best "living/dying" flower ones I've seen. I wish the background was blurrier.
