1) Composition and Content - I like the composition. I like the subtle blue coloring very much (although I can understand how some would reduce this image's score on account of the lack of bold bright blue - I happen to be a fan of "subtle"). I like the non-blue elements. I'm guessing the photographer experimented with different croppings and perspectives. I like the ultimate choice. Great diverse textures. Wonderful idea for a photograph.
2) Background - I don't see alot of "background" in this image. To my eye, the material is sufficiently prominent to be considered part of the photo's subject. I think this is a good thing.
3) Camera Work - Technical - I like the exposure and focus choices that the photographer made. I think the low light gives the image "mood".
4) Digial Processing - I'm not that experienced enuf with digital manipulations to know what you might have done differently.
5) Opinion - Overall, my opinion of the photo is positive. I like the diversity of texture, colors and shades within the image.
It's not really clear what this is. I see one rosebud, but the rest is very uncertain. Potpourri? The title does help out some. The color supports the title...cold...yes the color is a cold. Well portrayed. Grayce
