Well seen and well composed capture, but I think that your lighting is lacking just a hair. While the dark v. light works as a nice balance, I donlt think that the light is light enough or the dark is dark enough. I copied it and messed with it a hair in PS. I added a curves layer and added two points. The top point I set at I:181 O:199 and the bottom at I:70 O:56. It added a nice contrast to the shot, but that's just my opinion.

I like the diagonal, and I like the dark vs. light. There is some little thingy on the left that I would either like to see just a little better or not see at all. The greens are probably very accurate, but they make me think "pea soup" right off the bat. I think it would have helped to use Hue/Saturation and possibly generate a little more punch. I could be wrong, but that's my thoughts. Love the composition!

Great composition. Great choice of subject for a negative image. Really cool inverted colors. I really felt that something that was more graphic art in nature would perform well in this challenge, and look what rose to the top(IMO).

Hmm, 17 votes UNDER 4? LOL, gotta laugh! Very new looking buds, so think it meets the challenge fine, and I think it is a very well done photo, did not vote on it, probably would be in among the 85 if I had! Only thing it lacks to me is contrasting colors, and I understand that is the way it is, but just a little bit of red/blue/yellow or other color would have helped out quite a bit, IMO< only, we know!!! lol

Wow at the colors. It doesn't even look real. Very nicely composed. One of a few 10s in this challenge.
