Rainflower

When you just look at the top part of the image, as it loads, the "rain" seems fake, like a setup almost. But when you see the whole image it doesn't look fake at all, especially because of the wet wood. This is another image where I'm thinking, why is the flower looking that way, almost like she's looking away from the image, to the side. You seem to have quite an ability to make these slightly odd compositions work just so. One thing I think works really well in this image is the colour combination, the brown/green overall, set off by the beautiful almost fluorescent pink of the flower. I like the little light sparkles in green behind the fence, they give the whole thing depth. If there's one detail that possibly could use bettering, the bottom part of the flower looks slightly off - it has a creamy yellow tone that to my eyes doesn't go all the way with the rest of the situation (but you probably know better) :)

PS - I didn't realize this was for "Negative Space" until after commenting. So that's why that placement.

Wow, Sher, this is beautiful! That flower looks like she's reaching for the sunshine, really wanting some sunshine. It took me a moment to get used to the idea of it being cut off on the left there, sort of like my eyes are just straining to see what's there, but all they see is the black bar and the background - but it actually works I think. It makes for a sense of urgency to the getting the sunshine idea. Although maybe I'm just reading way too much into this. It is beautiful!

Great nostalgic feel to this. How can you not have a picture of a carousel without blur? It was made for blur!
