It's cool. =) The score doesn't really matter. Thanks!

Im surprised at the low score here, I thought this would be a relatively dpc safe image. Personally I think the slinky shot was better, but this is a really terrific hi-key image.

Haven't read the comments below, but at a guess I'd say the issue was that people had trouble discerning seven petals. I gave this a 7 during voting, but at a second glance I'd probably bump that up one.

The good news is that this is my favorite entry in the challenge. The bad news is that I never pick the winner :( which is probably why I cannot produce a winner. However, I have picked 3rd place before. BOL anyway. Beautiful photograph.

Really cool idea and shot, on my monitor at least though it's very very bright, I have to tilt it really far to be able to make out the picture.

Very tasteful and artistic presentation. Nice and subtle shades of teal in the backdrop. Bumping to 7.

Stunning photo! I love the softness and delicacy of it. I wish the petals stood out just a big more from the background. Otherwise its perfect! Nice composition. Another good pick for the ribbon. Good luck!

The photograph appears to be completely washed out. The picture is hardly identifiable on my screen.

I love this pic.. but there is no way to see the 7 petals. The picture is beautiful though.

Beautiful highkey photo, perfect composition. Pure simplicity makes it so attractive...

This is a tough on. With the calibration on my monitor, I lose most of the leaves on the flower. It's an amazing shot. I love the high key feel to it, and it's very, very well done. But it's not conveying the challenge topic. 6, because it's just an amazingly beautiful image. I can't wait to see a print of thise one.

Too over exposed. I would like to see a little more detail.
12/01/2004 04:36:03 PM
Great business card but I dont get it?
12/01/2004 02:42:23 PM
Lovely abstract piece, it's like a painting. The petals are focused way too soft to discern whether there are 7 of them or not, so that's minus points for me. I still like this though!
12/01/2004 01:50:01 PM
beautiful shot, but maybe not quite enough defintition in the petals for this challenge. Kind of hard to pick out the 7 petals. Would make a nice poster though....

ooooh. really nice example of high-key in color. very nice and soft. i like the slight cyan tone the image has as well

Looks like something that could be used as the background of a greeting card -- very elegant!

not enough contrast. the white (or blue-cast) is overwhelming to my senses.
12/01/2004 10:22:11 AM
i like how soft this picture is, i think it adds to it greatly. However it is a lil hard to see the 7 actual pedals. maybe a lil more shading would have helped.

Looks a little bit over exposed to me.
12/01/2004 12:49:08 AM
Too bright..I can barely see the petals.
12/01/2004 12:34:53 AM
this shot appear all too wased out on my screen i can barily tell if there are 7 pettels its just too white almost to the poitn of painfull to the eyes its so bright.

sorry but i can't see much of it.
