Challenge: Best of 2007 (Advanced Editing VII*)
Collection: Flowers
Camera: Olympus E-500 EVOLT
Lens: Olympus 40-150mm f/3.5-4.5 Zuiko Digital
Date: Oct 5, 2007
Galleries: Black and White, Floral
Date Uploaded: Jan 20, 2008

 Originally yellow flowers, might be weeds? What made this interesting to me was the dew that was still on the flowers. I'm putting this in to see how a bunch of flowers will do in a BEST OF challenge lol. I cannot compete with the beautiful landscape shots - which most likely will finish in the top. So as usual, I submit what I like and hope for the best!

Funny, I was looking at all the Team Suck Results and when I saw this thumbnail I knew it was yours. Looks like you are picking up a recognizable style. :) Wonderful detail and light. The placement of objects in the frame I think is your signature. Not sure how to describe it, but I can see it in most of your photos (a good thing too). Congrats on a lovely image.

This just rocked - one of my 10s. So good to see it came from you.

Michelle, I just loved this during voting. I'm glad to see that you were nominated for a Posthumous ribbon. Beautiful, moody shot, with excellent contrast and wonderful composition. In a challenge where the stakes were not SO horribly high, I'm sure this would have landed in the upper 6's.

Well for what its worth this scored a seven from me. I love the fact that whist flowers are a popular subject in challenges this was such a different treatment to that normally seen. Super sharpness and the B&W conversion works really well to creat a deep black background against which the flowers themselves really pop

Lovely shot

The conversion to B&W has impacted the dew on the flowers, looks like spots. Definately should have been in colour IMO. DoF is decent. Good Luck. 5.
