Well.....I like this photograph. It will be interesting to see how this challenge pans out. Fine Art is so subjective.....although, I am excited to vote/comment in this challenge....I am looking forward to seeing everyone's interpretation. I believe that this won't score very well.....but I think I am going to make a canvas out of it.

I like this shot because it leaves allot to the imagination... It breaks certain rules of photography, but that's why I like it and it works well for the challenge... Nice shot!
6 - Nice feel, nice light, nice colors, nice moment, nice title - seeing the distant figures far right takes me back to reality though... A slightly more refined crop at the fore/bottom too, make it stronger in my opinion.
What a delight. It makes me think of some of the Estee Lauder ads with Gwyneth Paltrow. The fragrance is "Beautiful" and this fits the bill on all counts.
Some things that might have helped me appreciate this more might have been: a different focus effect, perhaps extremely shallow, sharper on the front blossoms and receding to bokeh at the dress; a dutone with warm colours; a film grain effect in the above-mentioned bokeh. This would have given this a needed "fine art" feel for me; as it is, this seems more like narrative and less like art. Pretty, otherwise.
Would I hang this on my wall. Probably not, but still an interesting picture. However I judge on what I would hang in my apartment. I am not sure if I would classify this as "fine art". Nevertheless a good pic. for an other competition. At the moment you will have to live with my 4.
