This is like one of those crappy tulip photos but on steroids mixed w/ crack and MAD SKILLS!
Ahem,....good job.

I like the idea...I would have liked to see the colors "pop" a little more.

Nicely done.

Great! The brightness of the background makes it feel as tho you could reach out and grab that flower. Nice choice of color and amount of water.

7 - Nice. Like to see more detail in the heliconia though. Perhaps a little less contrast as well, not sure.
 04/27/2006 06:54:34 PM
Wonderful flower. Nice lighting, a bit to much white background imo.
 04/27/2006 03:54:19 PM
Perfect composition, colour and DOF. Good luck with this beauty.

Very nice composition. Great framing and shadowing. The white background really accents the overall look.
 04/27/2006 08:51:07 AM
I would have liked this better with more light on the flower.
 04/27/2006 06:28:02 AM

good shot
cool one
 04/26/2006 10:14:20 PM
Lovely. I like the deep tones of red creating the diagonal line. Nice use of negative space too.
 04/26/2006 01:20:39 PM
Excellent composition ! But I find the red a little bit too dark...
 04/26/2006 06:31:39 AM
great simple, effective...perhaps a little dark in the shadows
