Flower with a bit of typography

[alekseyy]

Hello,
I would like to show you an image that I worked on tonight.
The picture of the flower was taken by me around 6 months ago.
It was F/5.6, 1/320, ISO100, 55mm shot without flash, Nikon D3000
Today I wanted to do something with it, so I chose a Bible verse and did some rearrangements with words' sizes and positions.
Please, tell what kind of impression you had when you saw this picture. Are the words readable and well-placed in the image? What do you think about the picture itself?
Every constructive comment will be greatly appreciated.

First impression, I loved it! I love the placement of the words and the different size fonts. After reading the verse, I would have liked it to have a bit more meaning. I don't think the verse fits the picture. That is just my opinion though! I love the picture as does my 2 year old! She said pitty fwower mama

i agree, that verse does not go well with the photo.......still is a good photo, but the text needs to go

Thanks for your opinions.
I worked quite a lot on the words and letters, since this was my first attempt at typography.
That's probably why I didn't look at how the whole things fits together

I love it! The photo is fantastic, and I think the verse goes perfectly with the photo! (although, personally I prefer the translation that reads "arrayed" instead of "dressed.") I really like the look of the text and the way the words are arranged, but I don't think that particular style goes that well with the photo and the verse. I think a more graceful, flowy font would work better for it, if that made any sense. Very nice work though! I like it a lot!

yeah, what Carly said!
I didn't even consider the font, but Carlyfan makes a good point.
And I think from a context perspective the verse is very well portrayed.

Likey!
