LPS#4, Anyone wanna give me feedback?

Please tell me if this makes any sense. In my brain, it's crystal clear...but sometimes what I'm thinking is as good as rubbish to everyone else.

Could a weed possess genuine beauty that would rival a prized flower?




Or does the simple fact that it is a weed render it false?

I like the shot. However, I feel like I am missing what you are after. The questions you pose make no sense to me in the context of the photo or the theme. A dandelion is sometimes a weed, but always a flower. How does the question of whether the dandelion is a weed or a flower relate to how organic it is? Or are you somehow trying to say that the dandelion is artifical in some way?

I agree, the shot is great, but I just don't get the interpretation in light of the theme.

That's why I asked.

I was thinking along the lines of artificial, specificially bred prize flowers vs. organic naturally grown weeds as flowers. Or the other way around: flowers that are valued and created just for their organic and natural beauty, and weeds that are just beautiful by chance but still nothing but a weed.

Maybe my mind is just too complicated.

we're encouraged to think outside the box, but the winners typically hit the square nail on the head!

You are thinking "outside the box" with that one, for sure.

It's a lovely photo. But I think it's also going to go over the heads of the judges as far as this theme goes.
