Nice color and POV but finding it very hard to find a focus point.
03/17/2009 04:42:37 PM
Great field of flowers pic, the colors really pop.
03/17/2009 01:13:32 AM
Lovely vibrant colours.
03/16/2009 08:54:59 PM
I love the colours here. Just a shame about the tiny bit of vignette in the top corners.
03/16/2009 05:36:25 PM
Nice unique POV, great scene
03/16/2009 04:59:44 PM
Very nice colours, and good perspective.
03/16/2009 04:47:35 PM
I so miss the tulip from up north...they are such happy and bright flowers...
03/16/2009 01:36:50 AM
I like the low perspective, but because the foremost flowers are not focused well, and the background is not, the narrow band of flowers that are focused are not as immediately noticed, and this gives the effect of being a softly focused shot.
03/15/2009 09:45:21 PM
Great shot. From any other angle, you would not have gotten such a gem.
03/15/2009 09:14:05 PM
very nice edge burn
03/15/2009 06:39:40 PM
Good comp. but colors are overblown
03/15/2009 06:20:09 PM
Beautiful! I love the colors.
03/15/2009 04:55:17 PM
shocking colors, nice
03/15/2009 04:12:12 PM
Nice DOF and colors.
03/15/2009 12:23:42 PM
focus seems a bit sfot
03/15/2009 11:57:55 AM
Beautiful colours, nice perspective!
03/15/2009 10:28:44 AM
Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.
03/15/2009 09:14:55 AM
good colors
03/15/2009 07:14:57 AM
nice perspective and great colors
03/15/2009 05:52:15 AM
Beautiful colours. I'm not sure if the selected DOF works. Either the background should be more out of focus, or sharper
03/15/2009 05:11:18 AM
wow ...

Wonderful red & yellow. Not a fan of blurry foregrounds.
03/14/2009 06:59:01 PM
Need more of a zone of great focus.
03/14/2009 05:44:51 PM
An intense range of colors in this picture. Very cool. A longer DOF would have been nice, as a critique
03/14/2009 03:49:44 PM
Nice tulip shot. The colors are very nice and vivid.
03/14/2009 03:25:32 PM
Good dof.
03/13/2009 11:34:07 PM
This is a very well executed shot. The only problem is the focus. Everything else is great.
03/13/2009 08:27:00 PM
Beautiful colors. However it seems the field of focus is on the leaves and not the flowers.
03/13/2009 08:07:22 PM
Great colors and point of view. The slightly blurry closest flower throws it off a little but otherwise nicely done.
03/13/2009 03:30:21 PM
gorgeous, wonderful dof, wonderful color!
03/13/2009 02:59:49 PM
Amazing colors and great POV.
03/13/2009 02:29:15 PM
Brilliant colors. Very nice!
03/13/2009 12:03:42 PM
beautiful color; I would have liked it better if your DOF was a little wider
03/13/2009 07:45:14 AM
fantastic colours in this shot
03/12/2009 11:50:33 PM
I like the subject, the saturated colors and especially your effective use of DOF. Great!
03/12/2009 10:44:28 PM
Love the colors
03/12/2009 09:44:48 PM
awesome colors
03/12/2009 09:22:25 PM
I wish the tulip in the very foreground was sharp.
Nice colors
03/12/2009 05:57:47 PM
Very colorful! Great use of thirds!
03/12/2009 03:24:23 PM
great colors
03/12/2009 03:14:39 PM
interesting angle, and well composed image, i like the colors
03/12/2009 10:26:32 AM
I wish the tulip at the very front was in focus.
03/12/2009 07:26:19 AM
Great color spread.
03/12/2009 07:09:17 AM
Interesting, need even more DOF to make this image really work. 6
03/11/2009 10:59:49 PM
interesting low perspective, but works well :)
03/11/2009 09:54:46 PM
Nice use of perspective to make the shot really interesting.
03/11/2009 09:25:49 PM
Nice shot.
03/11/2009 06:51:57 PM
very colorful
03/11/2009 02:46:39 PM
Everything's out of focus except the leaves right in front at the bottom and there's a darkening edge in the sky at the top of the frame which does not look nice.
03/11/2009 09:07:40 AM
My favorite flowers! Nice to see the colors changing from red to orange and ending with yellow.
03/11/2009 08:37:02 AM
Gosh. This just missed the boat for me on the focus. The focus was down to low. You should have gotten to the level of the flower heads and shot them across the field. You shot them facing downward which is a no no in flower shooting (so I have read). You were up to high and for me missed a great opportunity.
03/11/2009 08:32:15 AM
Were is F/128 when you need it?
03/11/2009 08:28:37 AM
I think this might have been a little more effective if the shot in the very front had been in focus.
03/11/2009 07:15:45 AM
Nikce shot with loads of interest throughout the image. Great colour and exposure. Good luck: 7
03/11/2009 06:52:55 AM
great color!
03/11/2009 01:24:43 AM
Like the POV and colors
03/11/2009 12:33:13 AM
Lovely colour saturation and I love the vignette effect on the sky. I sure wish it was a lovely day like this where I am today!
