I concur with everything SJCarter said. WOW - this looks like something you'd see at an upscale gallery for lots of money. Excellent!

Wow - don't know how I missed this one... This is stunning. I can't believe how well B/W works here - you really used the light and shadows perfectly. Beautiful lines and composition. Really nice shot.

Very graceful! An interesting photo to compare on 1.8 (Mac) and 2.2 (Windows) monitors. In this case I think the 1.8 version looks much better. 8

Beautiful simplicity - I love the dramatic lighting in this.

Very elegant and graceful. Reminds me of the florals taken by Robert Mapplethorpe. 10

Like the b&w contrast in this photograph. Excellent composition. Simple yet elegant.

I love the simplicity of this shot. I like the bit of light on the stem so the top isn't just floating.

Great shot, this is in my top 10. You might want to see photographs by Don Worth to get more ideas.

Very elegant. This should do well.

This shot looks horrible, the color are way off! I don't know what you were thinking?

could use a bit more light on the stem, but otherwise very classic shot

Framing is nice. Lighting is almost perfect (would like a teensy bit less glare on the left). A bit of noise that distracts me. I can identify the problems, but unfortunately offer no solutions. My own attemptt would have tielded similar results. 5 on technical merit, but giving it a 6 for the thoughtfulness in composition and particularly how the stem is lit.

Simple and effective! The shot could've been taken from a little higher to see the centre of the lily a bit more.
