 I just had to take some pictures of these snowdrops growing on my deck. Their shape and the little green markings reflected my happiness that spring had arrived.

Do you happen to know the name of this flower? I shot some a few months ago for a challenge....Nice perspective. I guess I didn't think of picking the flowers when I shot them.

absolutely elegant in its simplicity. Its got all the drama it needs without clutter.

I love the shallow DOF and the placement of the subject. Simple and effective. I wonder if the bottom of the stem could be made a little more blurry, as it appears to be coming back into the field of focus.

Perfect focus and colour, composition looks a little awkward, maybe should have cropped right in tight.

Very simple and well composed photo. I like the use of DOF and the black background. Great job!

I love the simplicity, but the negative space isn't working for me. I think a slightly tighter crop would help, but still maintaining your concept.
