Very graphic / contrasty looking - almost abstract from all the colors and the blocks. Well seen and neat photo. Congrats on the good score too!

I thought this was red rocks out west someplace from the thumbnail view! A neat idea for a shot and nicely done.

Oooh..Lovely shot. I would have expanded the shot more if you wanted to use that border. By that, I maean I would have pushed the border out further and perhaps had the portion of the photo outside the border to be slightly blurred or something. Just amatter of style and presentation choice. The photo itself I really like. It has a very simple, clean feel to it.

Nicely done Jannine, I like the stroke borders but a little harmfull here,by reducing the size of the overall effect, good finish in a hard challenge.

Great image but the border just gets in the way. 7.

I'm not a big fan of floral shots, mostly because I find it is just too easy to get an attractive photo of a pretty flower, so when I vote on one, there has to be something well done to make it stand out to me. The composition is spot-on rule of thirds and leads my eye nicely through the frame. The treatment and light is nice, being just soft enough to be pleasing, but still has lots of details showing. (I love to see lots of fine detail). The border didn't have much effect on me one way or another, but it probably does add a nice touch. I think the objection to it may be that it overlays with the actual subject matter. I really can't find anything to nitpick about here, and I gave this a very high vote.
