Oh yes, of course it's nice, Andre! This is much like knowing that "the message came through".
An image can say more than 1000 words, and so when it says to the spectator pretty much what the photograpger intended, it is like some kind of communication without the need of many words. But of course diametrically opposed views and impressions are also very interesting.

Hi Nick,
Yes, it does work very well getting those points across. I notice other people have picked up on your theme in some of the other comments. It's always nice when other people can see what the intention is in an image.

Thanks a lot for the nice and detailed comment, Andre! Well yes, the thought of the blooms facing the city was certainly of a great importance to me, since it's all about the contradiction of the individual against the "big thing out there" - the city. I thing that this makes life in the city much more interesting, and perhaps also much more human, than living in some kind of total paradise. There are problems, dreams, wishes, and broken wishes - and as always hope, when facing the city from some balcony or so. Perhaps some analogy of "The Prisoner of Second Avenue".

Thanks a lot for the nice comment, Noemi!
Thism is the second things I was trying to do here, in addition to the mood of that kind of being replaceable in the city. All the small dreams, the fears, the hopes of beings having to live there. I think exactly *this* is what makes them beautiful in some deeper sence than only lookings. I'd prefer to live my whole life in such a place than in some kind of "absolute paradise".
Thanks a lot,
Nick

Thanks a lot for the nice and detailed comment, and the generous rating Ronen! Indeed it has to do much with contradiction - this is the one thing I tried to get here. It could be also the story of a being that knows about the own fragile existence as opposed to a world in which it is embedded and in which it is disposable, replaceable... and at the end unimportant.
Cheers,
Nick

Thanks a lot for the nice comment and the suggestion for a greater DoF, Gustavo! But here I disagree, as it is still the roses that are the main actors, and the city is only the vague background on which life itself happens. It is personal impression against "reality" if you wish.
Cheers,
Nick

This is very nice Nick!
I like the pushed grain effect. Also, what makes this one a good composition for me is the direction that the blooms are facing. It is almost like they are looking out over the city themselves. So, you have given human characteristics to the flowers.

I like the contrast with the colourful flowers against the drabness of the city background, Nick!

good compo and good DOF,the idea here is nicer than just flowers ,you got a contradiction between the rose that we use to see in gardens to the concrete of the buildings.
i like this one alot.

Lograda composición, aunque aquí, no se, el fondo desenfocado pero tan en primer plano, me molesta un poco...
Un abrazo!
