I was editing my photo, then I decided to put this quote on it. Thoughts?

It's nice! But it made me think of Looking For Alaska and now I want to cut the quote to "I seek a great perhaps". :P

But nah, love it. Very nice!

Yay François Rabelais! What a great quote.
I like the photo too. :)
Instead, he said, Brother! I know your hunger.

I like the positioning of the quote among the flowers--like it's not quite enough to have the image by itself or the quote by itself, though both are nice quality. Rather, you end up with a juxtaposed inference that the speaker is seeking a great perhaps in nature, where many great poets found their muse. It's a nice throwback for me. And I know that all of this might not have been intentional, but regardless, it's a poignant statement.

As far as general editing goes, I'm left wondering what the image had going for it before you threw filters and focal points into it. It'd be nice to get a contrast from before to the now.

Either way, it's a very nice image, even considering things like font choice and filters/focal lenses. I would probably say that the basic star of the image--the flowers--is pretty tired, but not every photo brings up something new in the world. I like it...and now you know why. :]
