I love the simplicity of this.

good title. I like how the stem mimicks and paralells the crack in the wall or visa versa.

Very beautifully composed. Love the technique here. Wish there were less of the frame, and more of the image. 9

nice shot. i think you could have cropped it a bit tighter, though. love the interplay between the plant and the cracks on the wall.

Ah - very well seen!
The texture on the wall is perfect as a background and the blue just makes it!

Cool! I wonder how many will get the tie in to your title?

It sure does look like an Heron. I love this kind of still life picture, well done.

Brilliant photograph. I love the clarity and the truthful reproduced tones.
The texture of the wall perfectly compliments both the vase and the plant.

Very nice photograph, I think the bright blue of the bottle really gives this a nice vibe. Well done!

Like the textures on the wall here. Nice and simple.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Paused for this image to admire the texture and clarity, the lovely lighting and color then saw the title and lo and behold the reaching stem and leaf DOES look like a heron! Very nice work and appropriately titled!

excellent minimal composition !, very good composition also ... i the background texture is the big plus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think the crack in the wall enhances the image, but the smudge on the left is distracting.

unique...wonderfully simple composition....well done...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Simplicity works very well here. Very zen-like and I particularly like the wall texture as a background. Not sure about the thick outer black border tho'.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

nice wall art type of photo. Interior designers would love this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/13/2007 01:08:28 PM
Nice composition... the cracks in the wall mirror the organic shapes of the plant an leaves.. but I definately would have cloned out (or pre-cleaned off) the mark on the wall to the left of the top leaf.

Nice work..

Oh this is beautiful!

You know. . .there is something about this. It is so simple, yet so artistic and pretty. It keeps me looking at it. I like how you've framed it to show what it would look like matted and framed on a contemporary wall :) My only nit pick would be to have cloned out the spot on the left near the top leaf. Otherwise. . .I love it!

A very striking contribution to this challenge. Not really much like anything else I've seen so far.

Love the simplicity would make a good print 9

Best: Bravo. I don't like these images (still life), but you won me over. The texture!!
Worst: In others minds it might be the frame, but I like it in this case.

Lovely and artful. The cobalt really is well saturated. Nice line. 7

Out of the blue, also.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I have to admit, my first reaction to this was 'WTF'... But I understand now, and I like it. Good job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The border seems excessive. Something simpler, perhaps just a plain white bar, would compliment the image better. The two different black bars makes it feel unbalanced.
