Lost Days of Summer

I like the idea, and this is a nice shot, but the post and the stuff undr the bush is very distracting. Also, the light on the background is very harsh, while the light in the shadow is nice and soft. Did you think of trying this in direct light, maybe at a different time of day, like sunrise or sunset? That would give everything a nice warm glow.

Great shot of the butterfly and the sunflower, but I find the blue background/sky looks fake

Good concept, but the roof and other things that are not desaturated are very distracting

Nice subject, maybe a wider shot would help. I find the border distracting.

I like the static, symmetric composition in addition to the absence of people/cars to convey desolation. Nice!
