Hey, I was there! :-) A shame I didn't vote on this challenge. :-(

This shot is vivid and powerful by itself, but even moreso to you and I, because we know it was taken in a crypt(?) in a historic, above-ground cemetery in New Orleans.

i can feel the weight of life, crushing the essence out of the trapped flower, squeezing its rich hues into the infinite darkness.

I like the idea and setup, but I'm not sure about the completely black background and the red line in the border. Good luck in the challenge! (6)

A very interesting and somber presentation. Well done and good luck!

I wish there was a little bit more black space on top. The border is probably part of the problem.

I love the darkness in contrast with the distinct red. Maybe just a tad too much negative space though. Good job,
