Description

I think it looks like it is crying. It's a Pansy, a member of the Violet family.

Greek legend tells of a nymph named Lo, who was beloved by Zeus. To hide her from Hera, his wife, Zeus changed Lo into a white crow. When Lo wept over the taste and texture of the coarse grass, Zeus changed her tears into dainty, sweet smelling violets only she was permitted to eat.

So maybe tears are right!

I took this photo before Christmas, but decided it wasn't good enough to post, now I just want constructive criticism!

So any comments are greatly appreciated!

A little more focus would help, but I still really like this photo. The texture of the flower is lovely and the color is a fave of mine. Really pretty and a nice choice of composition.

If I look at it as a semiabstract, the contrast is apropiate...if I look as a picture of a flower I find the contrast too high and lacking details on the higlights and shadows...

Like it as an abstract, deep strong colors.
