I think this is a very well done and engaging iamge; however, I feel it doesn't truly meet the challenge in the purest since. These to me are the opposite of a light color and are extrememly deep and bright. I am NOT scoring it lower for that, though, since there is a wide range of interpretations and perception for this one. 7.
I love how the flowers appear to be glowing, but I would've like to seen color on the stem as well. On it's own it's a 10, but for the challenge it's an 8
beautiful, stunning lighting. the flowers certainly are predominantly a light color, while the stems fall into shadow, lending a very dark color... regardless, the composition and detail is beautiful and some of the lighter highlights just fall inside of clipping. Nice exposure. -9-
