Taken as part of photography course I was on. I was experimenting with "painting with light" technique. I like texture and I thought the combination of the fabric and the flower would make an interesting combination. Somehow it reminds me of sanddunes...

thanks for the comments.
a couple od people commented on using the full 640px limit... I have!
and the grain... well that's just the way the fabrix was that I used.
I didn't feel like it was a problem, but I just might try and remove some of it to see if I like the picture any better!
Ingrid.

Nice composition, but the brown cast of the flower itself doesn't work for me,

Interesting, but the photo is a little too small. It's best if you can utilize the full 640 pixel limit.

I think a closer crop to cut out some of the out of focus area would help, as would using the full 640px limit.

Nice lines/curves leading to a simple and elegant flower. Nice use of DOF. I like the color tone too.

Good line and colour, but the grain and focus are too off-putting for me. 5/10
