Trying to make this work. I want to achieve the feeling of loneliness, but 
the minimalist approach here doesn't work. I think I have to dirty it up a 
bit more.

Comments and help will be much appreciated.

  Try with a much stronger contrast to see if it helps.

I like the idea, and good job on the flower and the texture on the wall.  If you
want to get the idea of loneliness, I think the environment might need to
change.  I'm not sure why, but the picture does not make me feel lonely.  I
think if you had buildings further in the background and added a focal blur,
such that only the flower were in focus, it would communicate loneliness
better.

  I think you had different gamma settings. (3.7 uses different default
gamma for some reason.)

I'm getting a strange effect with these images apparently due to the 
gamma settings.  In Thunderbird the first image looks very pale and 
washed out and the second one is much darker -- contrast is still rather 
low, but definitely _much_ darker.  However, when I save them and look 
at them with a separate graphics viewer (GQview or the GIMP in Linux) 
they both look the same.

Very puzzling...     :-/

Switching between the two versions, I can see:
The noise generatior is different. The brick wall is more interesting in yhe 3.7 
version.
The lighting under the overhanging parts is different.

Yes, I see those differences too, but I was just commenting on the 
difference in the brightness/contrast that I was seeing in Thunderbird 
vs separate graphics viewers.  But you're right, I should have been more 
specific.
