Thanks for all the encouragement. I was very surprised this photo did this well. I know it was not 'Technically' correct, but this one kept cathing my eye when I was trying to decide which one to post for the challenge. I had others that were better focused and brigher, but this one seemed to jump out at me. So I entered it.
9 10's is quite a surprise. But it means others also saw whatever it was that I saw in this picture and voted that way. (Still not sure why I liked this one)
You've got two somewhat competing aspects of this shot and my attention isn't flowing from one to the other but rather am left with the feeling these are two different shots/perspectives put in one image. I do like them both separately! Toning down the red or bringing more color into the palm trees might be worth playing around with.
Its a good photo and setup, the flowers really enhance it, that being said maybe a higher vote if the flowers had more focus to thenm since they are so close.
Pretty neat composition. Could trim the right a bit tighter to remove the odd red leaves along the side. I like this and it's a good entry. Needs a little more sharpening. Good luck.
