Almost like the lamps of nature. Bump.

Wonderful light. The noise (for want of a better word) adds to it. Love it

It seems like I have seen this elsewhere =). The french title, the vailidation, the lillies, the glowing, the off color. The question is? Is this the work of our suspect...or an imposter? (from a Gary Larson comic). I love the beams of light coming out of the one. The composition is beautiful with the 3 lillies, great job!

Very nice, the only thng is the glare on the left flower. I also was wondering what mood this is?

I'm guessing the same that were entered in the Dreams challenge. Getting some mileage from them. ;-)

This one is a little overexposed for my liking, but I like the lighting setup.

this is really beautiful! (Tres belle!?) A little overexposed and saturated perhaps.
What is the mood? It looks tranquil. the white object on the right is unidentifiable and distracting. 7

Very imaginatively done. Composition doesn't work for me though.

Wow, great setup, lights inside the flowers? I would never think of something so creative in a thousand years, I think this is a great mood photo [10]

Hmmmm...looks like the cover or one of those CD's you buy in the store with the real peaceful music on it. I'd expect to hear some nice soft love songs. Very nice exposure, with some interesting back lighting, and detail in the petals so fthe flowers. Nicely done. <6>

good shot, but the mood would be...?

Although I don̢۪t say this is a bad picture I have scored this low.
Low in my book is not extremely low, but I guess there will be other people thinking the same way I do who don̢۪t leave a comment.
Don̢۪t take this the wrong way, this is my own opinion, and I am trying to let you understand what some voters may think.

In my opinion this does not meet the challenge, the description of the challenge: Take a picture that captures an emotion.
I looked hard, but I don̢۪t see an emotion. This could be my fault, but that̢۪s the reason why I voted lower as I would normaly do.

I like this. Not sure which mood it's portraying specifically, but a stunning shot none-the-less.

what a photo!

Not too fond of the crop or composition with the sides being cut off. Little too tight. I do like the idea, and I like the the over all shot.
