Pretty, but reads a little dark.

Very, very nice magnolias. Good lighting and good soft focus and a pretty good frame easily earn this an 8.

you've created a very nice shot here - lighting is wonderful, border adds to the composition, two subjects get even and interesting treatment as you've placed them well in the frame. your use of light allows this color shot to take on the feel of a sepia one but keeps the dimention of color. One of the better flower shots this time around

Great idea very well executed. My favorite of the challenge so far. Wish the shadow on the sitting nickel wasn't quite so dark so that you could see the edge all the way around.

Indepth! I like the concept of this shot. Nice technical. this is, to me, one of those "I wonder how you did it?" shots.

Brillinat stuff. I really like submissions which are out of the ordinary and this is now one of my favourites of the challenge. Unfortunately i dont think its a crowd pleaser.

striking photo, well done! IMO, it doesn't meet the challenge requirement of orange being the primary colour in the image. Your orange subject is too small compared to the size of the whole image. 7 - deserves higher score, bumping up to 9

Just a touch of orange here, but it is such a good shot...
