I am at a loss here. I absolutely love this photo (10) and thought it would have won or placed; however, why would 11 people score this as a 1?????? It has beautiful contrast and clarity. The subject matter is unique. It shows movement. Why? I'm really curious!
I love this shot From the intricate details in the very center, to the blurred, but still visible details around the edges. From what I've seen (admittedly only about 60%) this one gets the blue. GOOD LUCK! :-)
Just gorgeous! This works so well in B&W and the textural variations are lovely with the selective focus. There is a wonderful feeling of movement and fluidity even thought the dandelion is quite central in the frame. 7
Full frame....... glad this is centered..... provides utility as a specimen as well as display of the excellent and superbe beauty you have rendered. Dandy foto.
Wow! Love the detail and just pretty much everything in this shot, the thumbnail looked promising and I was not dissapointed. 10 from me, hope you do well.
You've chosen an excellent subject for b/w where others have chosen an excellent subject and made it b/w. Kudos for your proficient use of the technique, and your excellent image!
