Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

First Impression: Rather than being drawn to the texture of the dead flowers I'm distracted by the rather boring wall.

Composition: The central composition isn't doing this image any harm, then again, its not very interesting.

Tecnical: This doesn't 'pop' or have any 'wow' factor for me, exposure is ok but the focus is a little soft in places

Artistic: For me this is rather bland and have much artistic value sorry.

Overall thoughts: I guess you chose this location for the nice little crack? but I think it was the wrong choice. I just glanced at your profile and saw your top 2 submissions are flowers and am sure you agree that they are so much better than this. 5.5 is a good final score I think.

Get in touch if you'd like to discuss further Gennaro.

Now this is nice. I love the way the crack in the wall seems to represent a rift between the two flowers as if they were two people who have argued or split which seems to be reflected in the title. Good work

With so many beautiful flowers entered in this challenge I think it was a misstep to choose something dead and bland. 3.

I like the dried roses and the crack in the wall. I think the composition could be improved by not centering it as much.
