The only reason I dropped .5 on originality was because I have seen a few close-ups of reddish flowers on a grey or similar background. On the other hand, yours definitely stands out.
First of all, I love the way the petals are slightly wilted, so it looks imperfect. The stones that are scattered over the flower - are they stones? They look like very small ones to me - and the dew drop that I think I can see in the centre at the bottom seem to add to that sense of imperfection and flaws. It would also indicated that the flower had been roughly dropped and not placed, so you'd think that had been after an argument or something - hence the title, I assume.
Finally, the use of the greyscale in the background, especially the leaves behind the flower, is very effective because the focal point is definitely that moment, that dropped, imperfect flower. A rejection, I think. A break-up or failed relationship. And you've captured it perfectly. So, well done!
(I've never written a critique before. It was actually quite fun. I hope I didn't sound too pretentious, though!)
The way you made this picture turned out to be just so peace inspiring and beautiful, the shading and color temp is one of the best! And the way you made it stand out, simply outstanding. It makes the viewer stop scrolling and take a look at it, the background being grey was a perfect way to help the main idea of this painting come to life! I also wanted to say what a fantastic way of using the water drops was, its one of the main things that help this picture stand up to its name. Conclusion, this piece makes me feel very happy inside, and hope to see more of your artwork soon^^
certainly this reminds me of a melodramatic moment in a film, like when Christine drops the rose in Phantom of the Opera or something similar. I think the critique by MiriamJoy was quite accurate. It evokes the sense of a moment sometime after a dramatic break up, like seeing the pieces of a broken heart on the floor.
This one instantly caught my attention. It seems sad, lonely and withered, but still a beautiful flower. To me it kindof represents the idea of holding on to a dying love.
The soft colors remind me very much of old film, seems so classic and romantic. <3 I love it!
