 I guess last week, I spent too much time updating on my bright red bird. ..because this week, I have been so drawn to the soft, white-on-white high key look :) I hope it's not too bland for everyone in the midst of what's sure to be many, many stunning bright vibrant flowers. . .but I love this look, so here is my version of pretty flowers :)

You were robbed - one of the better compositions in the challenge hands down! The softness of the shot and the lighting really set a tranquil mood that is very hard to capture. It may be a bit bright on the tips, but I think the subtle colors - lavenders/purples take that away. Nice high-key effect. There is a really nice blend and transition from top to bottom in the shot that sets this apart IMO - soft to hard. Very well done Sandy!

one of my favorites this challenge -- soft colors and bold greens off-set eachother nicely
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/09/2006 04:59:40 PM
pretty, but maybe a different colored backround would have been more dramatic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Such a beautiful name for a beautiful image. So soft and delicate, yet absolutely stunning..... I love this one and is one of my top picks for this challenge.....I have now completed 100% re voting, and this is still one of my fav's for this challenge.....
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A colored background would have helped here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/07/2006 06:00:58 PM
I like the simplicity of how you fanned out the flowers, and the color is very nice. It is a bit bright; the background almost blends in with the blooms in places.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/06/2006 09:44:02 PM
Lovely arch formed by the blooms and the pale pink is creamy smooth! The green provides a solid base to the picture, too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/06/2006 06:36:19 AM
Very nice. I would have liked it better with a darker background, but I see how the white (innocence, purity) goes with the title.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/06/2006 04:21:40 AM
Very sweet composition!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/06/2006 02:09:18 AM
I vote for a black background, the top half of this is really needing some contrast IMO
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/05/2006 09:31:23 PM
I think a darker background would have worked better here. The flowers fade into the background making the leaves the standout element in this photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/05/2006 09:09:42 PM
I like the light on white! Good job 9

7 - Nice and nicely composed/cropped. Lighting is nice. Wish the petals dominated the shot though, rather than the leaves.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great photo. Colors are really nice. Great job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/05/2006 01:47:25 PM
these are pretty and the composition is nice. The light is a little dull though to me.
 07/04/2006 10:08:57 PM
Nice photo, deep rich greens, soft color pedals, personally I would have choosen a different background. Good work.

this works so sweetly! nicely done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/03/2006 09:21:24 PM
Lovely tulips, excellent composition. My only nit-pick is that they seem to fade into the background slightly at the top, or they are a bit washed out there.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/03/2006 07:49:14 PM
I think this might have worked better with a darker background or different lighting. The flowers seem to get lost against the white.
 07/03/2006 07:10:58 PM
Very nice color and clarity
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/03/2006 05:48:26 PM
nice how they are tilting toward the left.Beautiful composition & colors. some might like a more contrasty background but I like it.

Very striking, your subjects listened well and posed perfectly. The contrast between dark green and white is perfect, well done.
