This photograph is visually appealing because of the texture. For example, the smooth surface of the photograph contrasts effectively with the "rough" square knots of thread. The "homemade" quality makes me feel nostalgic when I think about how people have documented their lives in quilts or weaving. The use of foreground really works well, because the sharp and detailed flowers in front draw the viewer's eye toward the hazy background through the thread. The cool colors violet and green really work well together to draw the viewers eye toward the distant white sky along implied lines.
The rhythm of this image is soothing, because the vertical stalks create a sea of colors. The vertical trees and flowers also lead the viewer's eye towards the sky, while the tops of the trees create horizontal lines leading out of the picture. I like how the flower stems exude a feeling of stability, despite their fragile existence at the mercy of the elements.
