Image could use to be a little sharper, seems a bit off focus as it is.

Photo works well with your title, not quite enough interest to captivate me though.

seems like it needs a little more to grab attention

i would've liked to see a little more DoF in this, so as to really be able to take in the textures of the window frame.

lovely image, good luck

This would been a good candidate for some desaturation. Or even shooting a portrait.

This fits the challenge well. The subject feels a bit overpowered by the frame, but not to an extreme.

Excellent color and contrast. I might have cropped to match the window frame.

Great exposure, but bad composition! Why dont you all pay special emphasis on composition. Look at the pic! This pic shows that u have talent, but is not utilising it. Why a boring plant and not a playful child? Think think think, then make sketches in rough paper, and then, take the shot. Or better follow your instinct, be completely unprepared, and, suddenly, when u find good subjects,shoot 'em.

Best of luck,

Nice display of color and contrast. The old barnwood frame goes perfect with the color of the old "you forgot to water me" flowers. Good job IMHO.

Why did you not crop all the sides of the frame so they would all be as wide.

In my opinion the bouquet in the window just doesn't fit. I love the window frame though.

Nicely presented! I can't quite place my finger on it but something looks a little "off". Looks almost a little over processed.

I like the contrasting dark and light as well as the textures.

To me, the focus on the bouquet just doesn't seem sharp. I like the idea though.
