I find it interesting that you only find compliments helpfull, a negative comment no matter how well thought out and reasoned is not helpful: yet " A winner" is helpful. I guess some people only respond to praise. Usually the better photographers have thicker skin, and take a crit as a method of understanding what others saw in their work. Nice job. You have a distinctive style. I will try to refrain from wasting further comments on it.
Nicely done. I think it would have been a better image without the selective desat. As it is, the selective color does not fit with your title. The image is saying, "Kiss the flower", or something like that.
Lovely desat shot but if I were to list all the word that came into my head to describe this shot I think I would get half way through the dictionary before I got to the word freedom. IMHO you missed the challenge but got a shot that would ribbon in many other challenges.
doesnt really fit the challenge but i have had that said to me many times before and i think that you wouldnt have taken the picture unless u thought that in someway it fits the challenge so i believe you. Great Shot 10
This is perhaps the best entry in this contest. It is about the very nature of freedom. The composition is superb. Is air not free? Is beauty not free?
Is nature not free? Congratulations on this beautiful study.
I don't like the use of selective desaturation. This doesn't really say anything about freedom to me. It has a too perfect, plastic quality. I like the composition.
