THIS PHOTO ONLY MANAGED TO GET A 6.8 AVERAGE? Insanity! this is one of the loveliest shots i have ever seen. congratulations on wonderful imagery amongst the mundane. this is a testament to "simple is beautiful"
realllly like this picture. every time the home page loads I marvel at the color and texture. it's surreal. oh and the funny thing? color scheme goes perfect with the small thumbnail of my entry! : ) you'll see what I mean after this challenge ends...
Wow - thanks for all your nice comments and the votes! :o) To answer the most often made comment: I did take the picture again when I had a little more time to try and get the stem in focus, too, but wasn't really able to, even with max DOF, so, unfortunately, that will remain unfocused.
this photo caught my eye the first time I voted and I am still waiting for some phot to appeal to me more. My favorite color photo. Seems a bit soft or grainy. but I can't tell if its me or ifits really is that way. Either way I like it.
I would call this artsy. I could imagine a blowup of this photo hanging on a wall in a very contemperary office suite. You have done a good job in framing this scene. You caught the light just right for the subject. The contrast seems to strike a nice balance in this photo. Good job.
This is very nice. Color and focus makes it look like fine art. Only thing I wonder about is thr"breaking up" in the stem and pod area. Maybe oversharpened?
This is one of my favorite photos in this challenge. I don't see much here that could have been done better. I like the fact that the stem is blurred so it doesn't distract me from the backlit petals of this lovely flower. Excellent job!
Very nice, very simple. If you're getting comments at all similar to mine, people will be split on whether or not the stem should be in focus. I think it's just fine as it is.
