I love the colors. The vibrancy is great. There isn't a lot of abstraction going on, it is very clear what each and every item in the picture is. I'm not sure about the solid portion of the watermelon. The way everything else, bar the black, is at least broken by color intensities, makes the solid mass look odd.
The vibrancy of the piece is great. The black in the background makes the overall piece pop. I think the watermelon could have been behind the flowers. Overall, I think this piece flows smoothly.
I love the different colors used. I especially like the contrast between the blue/purple flowers and the red of the watermelon. The choice of pictures does well to convey the message of who you are. It is not as abstract as some of the other students but overall I like it. I like the black background it provides a break that allows the eyes to rest and not become overwhelmed by all of the colors.
I love the bold colors. The bright reds and blues stand out against the black in the background. I like how the two parrots and the watermelon create a line of sorts separating one side of the piece from the other.
You can use this design, but I would suggest abstracting some of the images in Photoshop for a higher grade. For example the parrot is very realistic. Let me know if you make changes and want me to look at your design. Save a copy of the original.
