this was one of my top picks for this challenge even though it was not a true duetone but a desaturation (this may have accounted for the low votes)
I just love it anyway and have added it to my favs :)

I gave this a 9. It was definitely one of my favourites in the challenge. Disappointing to see so many 1s, 2s and 3s.

Hi Karen,

I didn't vote but I like this very much. The tones and the contrast are excellent. I think it should have scored much higher, not that 5.987 is a bad score. If your composition had not been so straight on it would have scored higher I believe, i.e. the main pot could be left or right of center and the flower diagonally opposite the pot. I think this would have been much stronger compositionally. Voters at DPC tend to be pretty anal about the rules of composition I find.

Cheers,

Owen

Maybe cropped a little to close at the top, but I love the color/lack of and it's simplicity.

Nice image - not sure about it being "duotone" though.

Out of all the floral or flower type of entries this is my favorite. Very delicate shading and toning. I think it matches perfectly with everything. I gave it an 8. I guess I am just not that much of a flower lover.

I love the image, it's very soft and imotive. I'm just wondering though if there aren't more than two tones in this. Still I give it an 8.
