Absolutely gorgeous color. Something about the crop feels not right to me, can't put my finger on it. But really this is gorgeous. It's one of my top pics this week.

Beautiful flower/abstract. Wonderful color tones that are silky smooth. Composition has beautiful graceful lines and it's assymetricalness does not bore the eye. Really wonderful macro shot. Well done.

Stunning of course! 10 of course! Looks like a fire pit of molten lava the blue tips on the yellow spikes are exquisite. it looks like your light comes from deep inside the center and radaites outwards with the flower parts and petals. Lovely color too, How did you get all the spikes to line up in neat rows like that??
Post actions
WOW! My third wow in 10 minutes. Technically this is a virtually perfect photo. Combined with the subject matter, composition and lighting, it will surely be among the top 10. Good luck.

Like a candel.... perfect shot. I hope you win a ribbon

Beautiful. A shot full of emotion and expression. The soft colors are lovely and your choice of viewing angle creates an illusion of fire or flame. Simply gorgeous.
Post actions
Lovely - is there a candle inside? That's how it looks. Very nice.
Post actions
WOW! So pretty - it looks like its lit up - beautiful!
Post actions
The colors on this are just great! The yellow in the center looks as if it is the light source and is radiating outward.
Post actions
Simply gorgeous. Light seems to fly out the flower. Great colors too.
Post actions
Very nice, great color and light.
Post actions
Stunning! The lighting and glow in the center is awesome. (Even if it is post processing.) Subtle pastel colors are exceptional. Focus = perfect. I've just started voting - but so far this is one its way to ribbonsville.
