Thank you very much, Lydia, for taking the time to write this critique! I really appreciate that you're sharing your thoughts - and I must say that I'm very glad to hear that this picture worked for you as it worked for me. Referring not just to my username but also to the content of my gallery it's probably obvious that my intention was to create a sad mood, to evoke feelings like despair and loneliness. Thank you very, very much again!

Rejected at another art site, cause it wasn't "artsy" enough.
Thank you, kindly!

It terms of the piece itself, the contrariness for me seems to be various layers of contrast--image-wise, the dark and light...the white of the petals with the shadowy background, the focus of the flower and the lack of focus behind--which could be said about its emotion as well. The flower looks depressed, but yet is in bloom. (Might be the "hope in the dark" thing I see other people mention.) But for distraction, one flower seems like it's looking or moving in another direction from the others, "hanging its head" almost...but also "looking" at something below. The whole flower itself seems like a distraction from everything else around...hence the lack of focus while we only get the impression of light and shape from the background.

Thank you very much for your detailed comment, I appreciate!
And I agree with your observations, the intention was to create
a contradictory atmosphere - a neat flower in bloom, yet sad
somehow and alone.

wunderschΓΆnes blΓΌmchen, das s/w sorgt fΓΌr eine wundervoll traurig-schΓΆne atmospΓ€re.
gefΓ€llt mir wirklich sehr gut (:

Die Farbe des Hintergrunds war sehr satt und die LichtverhΓ€ltnisse
schrien geradezu nach s/w. Aber das tun sie bei mir ja eigentlich immer...
Ich finde auch, dass man sich nicht wirklich auf traurig oder schΓΆn oder
beides festlegen kann, daher habe ich mit dem Link zur Musik vorsichtshalber
mal eine Richtung vorgegeben.
Freut mich sehr, vielen lieben Dank!
