    Super work…

  11. Joshi,
    This pic is very good. Loved the feel it is giving when we look at it.

    One small suggestion… The comments section looks very dry with both colours very similiar to black. I think you have put them deliberately, but you can add some whitish tinge to both the ash shades and brighten up this page. Ignore if not found relavant :)

  12. omg !!!! love it…. deep…. !!!!!!

  13. quite different frm wt u usually shoot….gd to see smehting like dis…..nice concept n editin

  14. those are brand new shoes! :D

  18. La perspectiva me encanta, con el detalle de la rosa entre esos dos pies… el tratamiento espectacular.

  19. great one! very original and beautiful!

  20. What a thought-provoking photo – I first intended to joke about the fact I wear the same Converse & jean’s but i see something much deeper in this puddle and rose, like a lost love yet still very vivid/red. Very nice work !

  21. Excellent shot, very original and unique view. Great colors and effects! Beautiful image!

  22. aahhh… the thorns of life… sometimes yes we have to let go than getting disiilusioned by the fragrance and colors!

  23. That’s a very emotional picture, especially for me because on Monday we burried the cat of my best friend like that.

  24. Oh, I love it! Letting go and finding something new in return I hope. You did a great job in composing this beautiful photo.

  25. Bonsoir,
    A nice angle and a beautiful light..bravo!

  26. A very intriguing composition… The result is awesome…

  27. very symbolic image … well done.

  28. a unique and original picture!!!

  29. Your picture is wonderful, its meaning along with the title is deep and sad, I feel the “lost” of somebody young (converse) and loved (rose).. Very strong photograph, would work well in B&W, too!

  30. Interesting picture which “grabs”…even though I don´t know exactly how to interpretate it! I really like the feeling in it. Artistic someone wrote – yes most certanly it is!

  31. Great composition. The blue jeans and red rose

  32. Mysterious.

  33. Otra gran composición con un carácter muy personal e intimista. El tratamiento del color es genial.

    Another great composition with a very personal and intimate character. The treatment of color is great. (Automatic translation).

  34. I like this contrasty processing, it gives great strength to the picture. And this “dark” water where the rose lies… a bit mysterious to me. Best regards Joshi.

  36. Creative composition, well done!!

  40. moderm romantism, interesting this angle, humor and poetry

  41. Strong and powerful…. sad…

  42. i love how the puddle looks like oil or grease…it draws all attention there!!!

  43. nice focus on the chuck taylors, great colors.. but to me this image seems so sad, like a ending relationship..

  44. J’aime les couleurs dans le sombre de l’arrière plan.

  45. Pramathesh Borkotoky

    Great one. A very balanced contrast.

    P.S. – The layout of the site is giving an enhanced effect.

  46. Fantastic well composed image

  47. did you spot it there or was it put there by you? the colors are popping, good job!

  48. Very thoughtful concept!
    Loved it.

  49. I really like the composition, wonderful idea :) , congratulations !

  50. Compelling image, Joshi.

  51. cracker! love the rose.

  52. Yo Joshi! This one couldnt stop me from commenting!! Focus is absolutely sharp, which is one of the most important features in this photo to strike attention! I guess you’ve used a dark (maybe blackish?) filter, which really brings out the contrast! Another thing is the water is really still. This makes it look like black oil – another striking compliment to contrast the red rose. Ground texture has done a lot to enhance the quality and the rose too is nipped at the right length! Angle at which the rose lies brings out the intended emotion. Wonderful!

  53. Awesome shot!

  54. Una bonita composición con un excelente tratamiento. Me gusta la imagen. Bravo.
    Saludos

  55. Wow great photo. Reminds me of a movie poster.

  56. The dark contrasts and tones with the contrasts solitary red rose create a dynamic mood. Excellent angle and framing. Impressive composition.

  65. This picture has an interesting concept to it. It makes you wonder the story behind the story.
    Why is the rose there? is it the symbol of a broken heart? The lost momento of a wonderful date?
