Your work "from the sky" is very original for a flower picture. You chose a very small depth of field in the centre of the image while keeping the fore- and background out of focus. This certainly adds a nice flow to the picture and gives a dynamic feeling to it. The unusual aslant angle of the picture compliments the chosen title for your work and also adds to the dynamic of the picture.. The strong colours and enhanced contrast gave you the liberty of keeping most of the picture out of focus without making the picture seem boring. The very blurry lightsource in the background adds another focus point which emphasises the perspective of the picture. I cannot tell what the little white spots around the lightsource are from, but they certainly add to the picture positively. The framing you chose by cropping parts of the picture to make it square-cut compliment your work and help focus on what I consider to be the focus of the image. All in all a very good picture in terms of originality, vision and technique, but I personally do not see a very huge impact in it, maybe this is just me, but I do not see a highly meaningful message in your picture. I do not believe that every picture has to carry a message, so despite my low rating on impact I do not mean to downgrade the picture by any means.
Yours,
Niklas
