Interesting take on an everyday subject. The colortone is interesting. I think the highlights have lost a bit too much detail in the top part of the seed head. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

This is really cool! The bottom right feels a little empty, perhaps a different crop? Still, love the message :). The prose is great as well, yours?

Unfortunately, you got so close to the subject that everything on the body but the hand becomes an abstraction of humanity. You have to leave enough of the subject in to make a visual and emotional connection. At the very least the mouth should be here, preferably with smeared lipstick to add to the story.

I'm not saying that I don't like this, I do. The comments you received were all from pretty accomplished photographers, people who have been examining these things for a long time. You have pleased the artists, the abstract thinkers.

Unfortunately to please the crowd, you have to take your artistry and distill it into a club and beat them over the head with it. ;)
