Congrats on your 18th place. Very nicely done. This was a wonderful image, filled with color and texture, and interesting and fun to view as well. One of my favorites of the challenge. Very well done. :)
Ohhh....this is beautiful...the velvet texture of the flower surrounded by a lush coolness...is it water...is it ice...I do not know but I do know it is lovely...beautiful light.
Excellent backdrop. Nice rich colors. The border is quite prominent and not to my taste, yet beyond that fact, is quite servicable. The image is sharp, detailed, and processed very cleanly without distracting artifacts.
I think the flower is just a bit too large relative to the size of the photo for this challenge and I would prefer if you had decreased its overall size by a third to a half. Still, I think it works well for this challenge and is overall a strong composition. 7
Beautiful background and a lovely subject. Can't find anything to suggest :-) I really like this one. Great detail on the flowere and excellent choice of flower as well.
this is a fasinating shot.....and truly beautiful....is the flower under water or just that you know how to add cool effects....please say water or ill be very jealous
This one, I like. Great composition and the colours in this image are very pleasing, the red channel isn“t overblown as it can be sometimes with digital cameras and the blue green backround (is that ice) really complements the flower. Still not a 10 from me as I save those for truly mindblowing shots but this is technically flawless and very well done, you got a 9 from me.
INcredbie, fantastic, very, very interesting compostition, with the water bubbles, the frame might be too much, but wow. were the colours altered in photoshop?? the green and blue and purple on the left hand side? I love it, 8
Really great work ! I love the background (what is it ??) Your subject is in perfect focus. I'm sure you will do very well in this challenge. Good luck !
I do like this idea and the colours. IMO the black extends too far into the frame and creates an unsetteling feel when the rest of the image is quite serene. I would also have liked to have a clearer focal point within the flower - perhaps the centre. But overall an attractive image.
Beautifull, for me this easily mets the theme and if it had my name in the right hand corner would be perfect ;)
If you are going to put this in DPC prints I would clone out the slight imperfection in the top petal,
I would offer some more superlatives, but my spelling is lousey... Well done..
