Took picture of moss

This is a powerful picture, and somewhat shocking. The emotional and visual impact it conveys is staggering -- all the people in shorts and t-shirts intermingling, and one individual issolated and alone. Just incredible.

"It's like looking at a pretty wall paper. How long can one stare at wall paper."

Oh, I don't know -- how long can one stare at Adams, Rowell, Lanting, or Picaso, Rembrant, Michalengelo, etc...
Or even many photographers on this website!

John;

I orrigionally rated this picture a 5/5, but after a closer look I would change it to 4/5. Asthetically, it is a very good picture, but the green leaf in the background takes from the picture and is a distraction. Perhaps if you moved the flower up to the right (upper right third) it would be less distracting, and by doing so, you would include more of what the flower is resting on. Also it would work to draw a person's eye into the picture by following the contour of the wood.

 

As for orrigionallity, I know I am rating this high at a 5, but the wood the flower rests on does lend to a higher rating -- but that's my oppinion.

opinions, please

Trying to learn "line" and "form" -- how would this qualify?

Also, please give ratings if possible. Thanks.

Opinions are welcome
