Darn it - if I'd known this was yours I'd have given you a 4... I doubled it for you though. It was a nice rain shot. I must have had pitty for you. :) Great shot in all seriousness - I don't hand out that many 8's.

Ah yes, I am guilty of Another Wet Flower Shot! and to tell the truth, my shot doesn't hold much interest for me! :-D

Nice shot, but the top side of the picture feels crowded. I think I would have had less open space at the bottom of the frame. Love the lily. BTW - Nice wet flower shot.

I love the smoothness in this image. Great color, patterns in the water's surface.

Very nice. But a different crop would be more effective. The large colorless area at the bottom makes the composition feel top heavy.

I think the best lily shot in the challenge. Really great job with color.

Nice colors...I like the dreaminess of this photo.

Composition was too spread out. Needed to bring the leaves in closer to the lily. Maybe a different angle. Loved the added soft focus.

Nice minimalist shot.

Represents the subject well.

'7' - Very nice 'soft rain' shot for the Challenge. Really like the look of that lily. Criticism; considering the Challenge, I would like to have seen a 'larger' photo if possible, showing more 'drops'. The color is nice and I don't know if you softened a little, but even though I said I like the lily, with the rain the main 'focal point' (for me in my opinion re the Challenge) I would like to see more definition, so possibly a sharpening, or just to contradict myself, a 'blurring/softening' could have worked too. Just also trying to get more 'symmetry/composition' with the placement of the pads within the frame would have made this a better shot in my opinion.

Love the circular theme. Nicely done. Great use of filtration too. Very pretty. You could have cropped out part of the top or bottom and still achieved the same effect (and a tad less busy) but that's just my take on it. Still, good job. 8
