This is a really nice and unusual shot. Good job.

what a magnificent macro! congratulations! this is a favorite out of many weeks of having none. The detail is extraordinary, and the composition very "O'Keefe", (in my realm of experience). the dramatic lighting on one side does a good job of putting some of the petals into slight shadow without losing them, and yet does not lose detail by being blown out. Great image! Great title! I can not say enough.

You know this is the type of photo that would look fantastic blown up and put on a wall :) Nice macro work :) Its beautiful :)

Really nice texture on the leaves, especially the top two. I think I would have preferred a tad bit more contrast but that might just be my monitor. Good job.

One of my favourites this week. Great colours, focus and cropping. I like the composition too. Maybe I had rotated it 45 degrees right, but not a big deal. Very well done. Good luck!

Very nice crop, and great color.

I love the apparent 'door' on the temple and even the walkway. As nice as the color is, I think the yellow on the right is distracting and takes my eyes away from the center. I like the focus but just for kicks - what if they were reversed and the 'path' was clear, while the temple was blurry because it's farther away?

Very nice. The colors are vivid and protrayed very well here. The lighting is a touch out of balance here with a little harshness on the right, but isn't too bad.

Amazing photo I like it. The yellow breaks the purple color gently but subtly, good!

Nice and sharp. Excellent lighting

Really intriguing shot - love the compesition! Definately draws you in to look at each petal. Meets the challenge very well!

Wow! A flower without a water drops. What a great change and shot.

another overly sharpened flower image. i don't see flowers as "hardened...."
04/09/2003 06:40:23 PM
this is lovely, very nice curves and great color!
04/09/2003 04:19:15 PM
Very abstract. A different take on the many flower pictures for this challenge. Excellent Picture.
04/09/2003 01:54:14 PM
gorgeous and inviting. I think you captured the colours of this iris magnificently, especially with the dark background. 10

Really nice macro. The upward thrust of the stands create an almost temple-like mood, transporting this simple flower into a communication of mythic nature worship. Amen. 10
