Wow, love this picture. That's a shade of blue that you don't see every day. Good job! The only thing I might have done a tighter crop at the top end, the effect dies off a little in the dead zone... But that's just me being Picky... Cheers
Again, not a big flower photo guy but this is a GREAT shot. so clear and perfect. The water on the rose is so refreshing looking and really makes the flower feel healthy and fresh...Just like this photo. Love it.
This is one of the best images of the challenge. Very well done. Reminiscent of kosmikkreeper's blue ribbon winning image, "Nature's Spirals", from the three's challenge. I'd consider a slightly greater DOF and place the bud center just inside the lower left ROT intersection point like in jmsetzler's ribbon winning image image "Pianissimo".
