Description I was at a McDonald's and I noticed the roses and how pretty and bright they were and then I saw past them and watched all the cars just passing by.

I wonder how many, if any, of those people even noticed the flowers? Or did they just see the McDonald's there and move on. I know they are driving and its not uncommon that people miss things so small like this all the time while driving but it just made me think about the small wonders people miss out on in life sometimes.

Strange I know, but still it sucks that people pass by something so naturally beautiful without thinking about it at all. Maybe I'm just weird for thinking this but that's what this picture says to me <3

Lucky you for having your camera with you... I guess if I'd seen this I'd been like "... damn, where's my camera when I need it. Oh, right, at home."
Beautiful shot and at the same time it's sad for the mentioned reasons...

This is quite an interesting shot! I especially like the concept of this and how you have positioned the camera... or rather, the point of view and the way you are positioned are both quite awesome, I have to say, especially with the way it contrasts.

It's like you've got the nature contrasting against the man-made nature of the cars... and I like how the separation is further felt with the shallow depth of field.

The clarity is brilliant where the flowers are concerned. I like the great saturation and how this piece is pretty natural where colours are concerned so that we can relate to it more.

Part of me feels that this should be framed into a square, but I feel as if you emphasise the perspective more with the way you've positioned it all there.

I don't really have any suggestions... just that you could have moved the camera more to the right a bit, but that's all.
