This is one my fav entries of challenge, It's vibrant, colorful, sharp, and I love the pink against the green background (my two fav colors!!)

I really like the bright green backdrop for this. It really makes the pink pop.

Good job with the details... not sure about the green background, although some will love it, I'm sure.

Don't know if it is the flower or the processing but it actually looks like it is starting to brown.

The focus seems a little soft, but I think that works well for this shot. Excellent colour.

Beautiful flower - looks a bit hot on the petals. Not sure the green background is helping this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 09:24:00 PM
I like it. The green is great.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 08:31:14 PM
I like the bright colors of this - especially the pink against the green.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautiful flower...this photograph is so classically photographed. In fact, it reminds of Victorian floral sketches. Well done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very lovely colors. I'm rather glad that the background is just a solid green.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:48:06 AM
I like the brightness of it all. It would make a pretty greeting card. :~)

Great colors. Nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The colours are beautiful, it's a sharp, clear photo but it has a softness that is beautiful.

Back to vote, I gave this an 8.

Simple and sweet in color and texture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow. Great color combination. This is an ad-quality shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1116 images, I gave 97 of them an 8. Your image was one of those 97, placing you well within the top 10% for this challenge.

There is something about the uncluttered simplicity of this shot which appeals to me, and the green is a perfect foil for the pink and yellow. Probably a little too simplistic for a lot of members on this site, but I likeit, and I guess you do too, which is all that matters! :-)

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Love the colors on this. I don't typically score flowers high, but I'm making an exception here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Lovely!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Voted earlier coming back to comment now. The big *WOW* factor here is the color! Love the bold and vibrant pinks that just pop off the green background. Love the hues too - the springtime green and the hot pink. I see alot of nice detail too with some of the textures of the petals visible. This is a very pleasing floral shot.

Thats a very vibrant flower : ) Like the simplicity

Nice contrasting colors. Nice comp too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 08:11:00 PM
It makes me smile. Especially at this time of year, a splash of colour is much appreciated! You know, it would look really great as an iron-on for a canvas tote bag :)

03/13/2009 07:37:20 PM
pretty colors. Would have liked it to be tighter on the petals though :) nice choice of background color. 5

Now this is how to shoot a flower. Great background. Great detail and sharpness in the petals. Great colors. I could see this as a poster.

lovely choice of backdrop
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great pic of the flower and good choice for colors. It's pretty obvious that you put significant thought and effort into the lighting on this one and it has been done very effectively.

A bit of blur on the BG area would have been good I think. This would have been easy to do by using one of the color channels as a layer mask.

I don't know if it's intentional, but there a bit of 'blotchiness' in the overall tone of greens in the BG which help give it a more natural look as if it were a strongly out of focus background area.

Also, the tone of the greens in the BG change from warm to cool, which is a bit odd. Might have been worth just a tiny bit more tweaking to equalize that. Maybe not.

I don't think the border helps anything here. It would have been preferable to have a larger view of the flower. It certainly seems that you have enough detail to manage that.

crisp and good complementing colours

Simple and elegant - doesn't get much better than that.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:54:31 PM
Really conveys the delicateness of the flower.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:20:10 PM
A lovely flower portrait. Strong, complementary colors, although the petals center right are a little oversaturated to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:03:45 PM
this pink works really well against the green background
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 05:05:05 PM
Fantastic shot, beautiful colors
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:56:39 PM
I think the frame detracts from this otherwise nice image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:26:14 AM
The green is a little to bright for me but the subject is pretty and has good detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:37:03 AM
Stunning, almost CG it's so perfect. Beautiful colours too. Best of luck. 8

Beautiful color. Background really makes the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:47:52 AM
Great colour contrast and I like your composition. I'm not much for flower shots, but this one is quite nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:09:51 AM
Excellent shot, the contrast in colors is wonderful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 07:55:48 PM
A few blown highlights (from what I see...then again this monitor is a bit on the bright side). Nicely saturated colors and good choice for background. It would be nice if the stem and leaf had a bit more light on them or if possible if they could be removed altogether.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 07:01:57 PM

Very nice shot - personally, I don't like the framing, but it's still quite a good picture.

Bold, bright, and quite cheerful! Just the thing needed to lift one's spirits on a dull gray drab day.

Such great colors - this is totally the front of a greeting card!
