This hibiscus is a real masterpiece! The color is beautiful, the capture of the texture makes me wanting to touch it, the lines center-edges look just great.
It's a wonderful composition!
Thanks for organizing this side challenge! |

Shez,
I really really like how the lines just keep drawing your eye into the center of this shot. Very nice gift you received and I'm glad you saved it for posterity (by way of a nice shot) for the rest of us to enjoy. |

This is almost hypnotizing the way the petals gently curve around. It really pulls you into the center.
The reds seemed a bit over-saturated to me, so I tested turning the saturation down a bit in Photoshop via Hue/Saturation. I didn't like the outcome, but then just turned the brightness down (a lot!) on the red level with the same tool. It looks like a pit of fire! Your version is much happier.

| Just look at those colours. I so love your square crops. They work so well. Living in an apartment restricts me a bit to cut flowers or parks and other peoples gardens. Just great. |

| Wow; I'm drawn right into the center by all those marvelous well-defined veins on the wrinkly petals, and the center holds more great shapes and textures. Great start! |

| Beautiful study as per usual. Your images are always so clean. I remember you saying that you dust the plants before shooting them - but I assume some post dusting is also required. Anyway, the results are always quality. |
