My wife got this elegant blue colored little flowers and laid them over this white painted foliage. The white leaves give the impression of snowflakes while the colorful little flowers brake the ice.

Critique Club Review:

Interesting picture.... I think that one of the things that hurt your score is a lack of an idenfifier to show the scale of the objects. There is really noting there to say the leaves aren't the size of your hands or larger. Hence the questions about this being a macro. (My entry suffered a similar fate even though the lens was less than an inch away from the subject.) Enough about me....

Focus is excellent, and depth of field quite good for the subject.

The colors selected are a bit unusual. I would have preferred brighter flowers. The subject is centered, which surely put you in trouble witht the rule of thirds police.

The leaves that have detail look a little grainy, as if they were oversharpened a bit.

I think your photo does communicat the title well.

The leaves (Dusty Miller?) are abstract, but this is not a macro IMO.

I don't think this is an abstract. Your lighting appears too harsh.
