 These are some flowers that grow over a tressle (sp?) in my Father's backyard. The flowers are fuzzy, and everytime I look up at them, they glow with the sunlight above them. They never come out the way I want them too when I photograph them; until this shot!

I *hope* it does well, but I fear that it will be lost in a sea of other flower shots.

The perspective and lighting really give this the feel of Hope.

great colors and subject. the composition feels careless. I'd like to see more interesting use of negative space or a maco on the backlit flowers

somewhat boring variation on the theme of " optimism = upward direction "

Great concept. I think it might have worked if it wasn't so sharp. A softer focus would have helped this image out a lot in my opinion.
