Studio flower shots are not normally my thing but, I like this for its simplicity and high contrast. The colours are great, nice composition. I think the border is great, using a colour from the scene, just to balance those anti border comments. Well done a six from me.
This really rides the border between digital art and photography in my opinion. It is a gorgous piece, and the border is just right. I can envision this hanging on a wall for a month. I am only torn in that it has almost left the realm of photogrpahy for me. 7.
Very professional looking image. I can definitely see this as a calendar image. I'd have put April just because that is when the tulips are in bloom here in the Northwest where many are grown. But I'm not taking off any points for that. This is a 10.
