Has a strange pulsating effect. Different.

Hi Danitar, welcome to the Critique Zone!

The only thing that I disagree with on this photo is the score. 6+ is certainly a decent score but I think that in a Free Study, this could have gone up to a full point higher. It just doesn't really connect to the challenge except in the name. (You're not alone in this!)

I might have changed one thing - I don't normally comment on borders but I think that with a photo taken to give a paint effect, some sort of framing would probably be beneficial. Other than that, the composition, structure and lighting of this is simply masterly. I personally disagree with the comment asking for something to be perfectly in focus, I don't think that it would work with this effect, it's great just as it is.

I'm sure that we will be seeing more of you, and I look forward to it!

Happy hunting,

Frank.

Nice smooth edit on this. I like what looks like an overlay for the background... I just wish that the one thing in perfect focus was the yellow coming out of the flower.

wow, so painterly. I love how closely this balances between abstract and formal.
