a totally unexpected ribbon with that rotten score. Nevertheless, thanks for all votes and comments. So I'm sorta even with timfythetoo...

ETA: this was my first shoot with my new Manfrotto tripod with swingable center column. Worth the money!
Same goes of course for the 5D, I had the ISO settings at 400 incidentally, but: no noise!

Lovely shot. I like it. The odd direction of the one flower really makes the image for me.

The more I look at this one, the more I like it. Congrats on the blue!

Oliver, congrats on the ribbon! And don't worry about getting the blue with that score. It's still blue! gotta love the noise (or lack thereof) on the 5D. I mistakenly left my 5D on ISO 800 and didn't even notice it.

Top result mate - and what a nice surprise to get the Blue on that score :- )

Great picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/28/2008 01:09:39 PM
I gave this one a 10 - LOVED it!!! Congrats on you first - well deserved!

Oliver, this is gorgeous, highly deserving of the blue! I love the composition here.

Yup! that tripod really is the best. I got one with this head. Can't imagine using anything else after this.

Congrats Oliver on your blue, great idea

Congratulations, this was one of my top picks.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/28/2008 10:16:51 AM
Don't fret. Enjoy the blue ribbon :)
This easily made my top5 list. This is a splendidly composed shot. You arranged those flowers just perfectly, with the details of the spacing of the right most one to the crossing out of the 4 others.

01/28/2008 10:05:21 AM
That is a pretty picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/28/2008 09:27:04 AM
Well done. The score is just relative. You produced an effective clean image both with the design and the photography.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/28/2008 07:27:28 AM
Congratulations - these are beautiful blooms. The graphic title -HH- I is cryptic & fun, new strike strokes IIII I - might also have added similar page clutter, I also like ladpupmoe's number title and nicely arranged 4 + 2= 6 tulips.

Ya I saw that. I was wondering if it was an acronym for something besides tally marks. Btw, you need an icon for getting a ribbon with a sub-6 score. By my count this makes four. ;)

Sort of makes us even again. Congrats!

Very nicely done - lovely light, and one of the rare times that color in a border works well. Congratulations on another ribbon for your collection - someone has to give Tim a run this year! :-)

Very nice colors and composition. The way they are spaced makes this too. 10

The title ? But that matters little when the image holds its own. Fantastic image.

Good colors, lighting and composition. A classic, flower DPC shot. I like it. I'm sure this will do well in the challenge.

Very clever. Something different.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2008 11:38:38 PM
This is very well done... Using the roman numeral for 6 was a stroke of genius (maybe angle the one flower down a little more). One of my favorites in this challenge. 10

Superb composition...subtle shadows....lovely color

Love the idea of the hatch marks. The tulips and lighting are beautiful and I like the border. It makes the image seems almost 3-D.

Nice clean colours and pleasing offbeat note in the placing of the fleurs. 8.
