the main subject of your photograph may NOT be a flower.
Then I cannot really understand how this pic can be criticized for the presence of flowers... is there anybody who thinks that the main subject of this photo is a flower??
I'm quoting this 7 years after the challenge, but I had to say this..
Such a wonderfully tranquil and serene shot. Ahhh. Only if I really study what you are wearing, hey ya caught me, does my brain start to convince me that it might seem a bit strange with those darker undergarments showing. But hey, you pull it off...anyone else would have made it look completely less natural and more like a gimmick. Seems like its hard to go wrong with your look! Really love the colors too. Ahhh. I need to start eating more healthy.
hey. never got around to voting this challenge, so you didn't get a comment yet. This shot is awesome and should have scored much higher in my opinion. Some people just have no taste. Would have been a 10 from me. Keep up the excellent work; I look forward to seeing more.
I would have rated the pic 8, not 10, because somehow I find it a bit unnatural, even if I like it.
However, I do not understand how people can rate a pic of this quality with anything between 1 and 4....
That really spoils the challenge outcome.. doesn't it?

excellent photo. the pink and white flowers look fantastic together, making the whole photo fit together. the DOF works great to fade them out into the background, and the very slight soft focus is wonderful. The light on the model is perfect and her post and expression are great. I can't not give this a 10
Must be a popular garden with the neighbours! Interesting shot - a bit staged, and she's a bit too central. Panning to the left a bit would have created more space.
I personally like this photo a lot. The colors in the flowers are very striking and the subject is gorgeous. I really like the top that she is wearing because I think it enhances the flower and the garden concept, however, I think the grey underwear distracts from the rest of the colors in the photograph. White may have been a better choice or maybe even black to match her hair color. I still may have lost the bra though. The small wisp of hair on her face which is out of place distracts a little as well, but at this point I am just being nit-picky. Now I may be wrong about this one, but a fill flash might have been nice to remove the shadows from her left forearm and her thighs. I still think it's a great shot though :)
I like this shot because it is very unique and original as compared to other Garden challenge shots. This reminds me of those dreams where you realize you are at work or in school in your underwear!! LOL Everyone has heard of the "forgot your pants" dream,but this image brings it to a visualization for me! (No disrespect intended) The only thing I can think of that would improve this shot(for me) is to shoot from a slightly higher vantage point, shooting at a slightly steeper angle down to exclude the dark triangle (left side) and greenery (right side) at the top of the frame. ou could also employ the rule of thirds by composing with your model a little to the right of center. Still, an excellent photo and one of my favorites this week. 10 from me!

This is definitely not a picture of flowers. The shot might have had even more eye appeal if your non-flower subject were farther to the right in the frame (rule of thirds).
