I usually do not like flower shots. This one is great! I love the use of extreme wide angle on this shot. Great sharpness and detail on the flowers. Which lens did you use? 8
I am dying to know how you got those flowers to show the white so well. Mine always come out with a yellow tinge. That is an amazing use of focus and color. Thanks for submitting it.
Love the wide "in your face" composition. Reasonable balance between foreground and background. I think it would be more effective with a more Velvia saturation. 8
By far my fav in the challenge. I just like the look of it, even though I think that the white is overwhelming in a few places and people will say that the lens distortion is annoying, but I think it adds to the shot. Great!
Just when I thought I had seen all the beautiful flowers that could be done -- this one. One of my two top picks. The lighting and composition couldn't be better.
