Like your take on the theme

Yes, I like this too, but imo, there is just a little too much fg....

thanks, but what is fg?

A photo contains 3 sections...Forground(in your case the branches),main subject (the subject in focus) & background(the bluered trees & the park).
Ade suggests that you should croop away some of the branches on the lower part of your frame.

thank you very much karaflazz for the explaination, very helpful.

You are most wellcome my friend...glad i helped...

sorry author............I assumed as the pic was basically so good, you would understand the term...... my apologies....

its ok Ade no need to apologize..honestly i would throw away some of the fg if i had a chance..but its too late now. thank you

it is a pity, because out of all the entries in this contest, this one I like, because it is so different.

very fine

Good shot!

And congrats again for your third place!

I interpret the shot as deliberate as to the writing............I see it as a fading flower, for a fading love.............in which case the writing is perfectly portrayed.

Yes, you are right Ade, thanks !

a great image and I agree with the same interpretation adeincyprus had. Well done you should do well.

I love the lighting, well done!

its great that the rose is dry it's subtly telling a story great job

Congrats on your placement

this is amazing... I'm late with my comment, but I just love it!

very nice, my eyes are really drawn into the center with the way it is cropped
