[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Roses in a Strasbourg square, climbing high up a trelise. The background is askew, but the photo doesn't work when it's straightened, so I took it and made it into a fantasy, in which houses slant and flowers don't. Roses soft almost melting, house sharp, windows with bright panes, I feel like the witch in the Wizard of OZ, "I'm melting, melting..."

ISO 400, focal length 53.0 mm HHP

I said earlier that I would be visiting everyone and looking for OOF, OS and blurriness and guess what - the first one I start with has scored two out of three
BUT
Who am I to complain?
I like the blurry roses.
I like the tilted b/g.
What would I have done to improve it's impact? saturation.
Understated frame - that's OK.
Overall - 7/10, mainly due to impactlessnessness.
Brave Little Soldier is where it's at.

Hi, Lois! I like the delicate colors and tones of this one, and the effect is wonderful - art-like! Admittedly, it didn't look so good from the thumbnail, but I really like it now that I see it and read your note. Very clever of you. :)
