Does the dreamy, nostalgic feel that I was trying to create come across? Constructive criticism is more than welcome.

taken at f 2.8. slight vignette added. clarity reduced.

I'm not sure I would ever equate nostalgia with plants/flowers, but that aside, given the "shrouded" effect and vignetting, I find the abundance of empty space rather detracting as well as the partial flower loop along the bottom edge.

it's hard to say if it would work, but I'm inclined to recommend a tighter + vertical cropping. there seems to be a sense of sensory deprivation around the main subject and therefore the little distractions like the white streaks (stems? grasses?) along the lower right compete for attention and seem magnified.

Hi Venom,
Overall I like the effect and especially the bokeh-wash of background colors, it is a bit dreamy. But the 1/2 flower at the bottom bothers my eye, I'd rather it wasn't there- for a cleaner overall composition and mood. Everything else is fine, imo.
