Great color and composition. I agree with lolly_gagger, you definitely should have received highr than a 6.8. One of the best on this site.

THIS PHOTO ONLY MANAGED TO GET A 6.8 AVERAGE? Insanity! this is one of the loveliest shots i have ever seen. congratulations on wonderful imagery amongst the mundane. this is a testament to "simple is beautiful"

realllly like this picture. every time the home page loads I marvel at the color and texture. it's surreal. oh and the funny thing? color scheme goes perfect with the small thumbnail of my entry! : ) you'll see what I mean after this challenge ends...

I love how the light goes trhough the petals ever so lightly. It looks beautiful. Good job on the color and the light compensation and stuff. I like.
05/07/2002 09:59:00 AM
Congratulations Franziska, this was one of my favorites. It's really a beatiful image that was well done!
05/06/2002 09:26:00 AM
Congrats to you. Beautiful color.
Also loved your title.
05/06/2002 07:30:00 AM
Wow - thanks for all your nice comments and the votes! :o) To answer the most often made comment: I did take the picture again when I had a little more time to try and get the stem in focus, too, but wasn't really able to, even with max DOF, so, unfortunately, that will remain unfocused.

I like how close your are to the subject -- and we're still able to get the full effect of the ground-up angle. Nicely done.
05/05/2002 11:53:00 PM
this is a beautiful shot and a great idea. the colors are warm.
05/05/2002 05:02:00 PM
Lovely closeup.
05/05/2002 07:20:00 AM
Nice idea, great subject, I wish the color was a little more vivid

I found this shot very interesting. great effect from the back lighting, but a little more detail in the bulb would have made it killer.

Great colors and love that slice of sky.
05/03/2002 09:31:00 AM
Might be my favorite picture. I like everything about it- composition- texture- literal interpatation of the challenge.
05/03/2002 07:43:00 AM
stunning. the hint of purple comes through so nicely.
05/02/2002 03:37:00 PM
this is just one awesome picture.
05/02/2002 11:43:00 AM
Wonderfull picture. Nice colors and good composition. I like the way the blue sky is interrupting the pattern of the leafs in the top.
05/01/2002 09:08:00 PM
stunningly beautiful
05/01/2002 05:36:00 PM
Very nice image, great angle to get the shot from, and a wonderful use of backlighting. Love the picture.
05/01/2002 05:03:00 PM
Excellent detail, color and composition. Bravo!
05/01/2002 04:30:00 PM
this photo caught my eye the first time I voted and I am still waiting for some phot to appeal to me more. My favorite color photo. Seems a bit soft or grainy. but I can't tell if its me or ifits really is that way. Either way I like it.

05/01/2002 02:33:00 PM
Now this is a neat shot. I like the way that you exposed just enough of the sky to give the perpective.
05/01/2002 01:31:00 PM
This is a neat perspective, although I wish the colors were stronger.

05/01/2002 01:28:00 PM
Absolutely fantastic shot. Very well done.
05/01/2002 08:28:00 AM
Not my kind of thing, but *very* nicely done.
05/01/2002 07:27:00 AM
I would call this artsy. I could imagine a blowup of this photo hanging on a wall in a very contemperary office suite. You have done a good job in framing this scene. You caught the light just right for the subject. The contrast seems to strike a nice balance in this photo. Good job.

great colors
04/30/2002 07:50:00 PM
This is very nice. Color and focus makes it look like fine art. Only thing I wonder about is thr"breaking up" in the stem and pod area. Maybe oversharpened?

beautiful shot - fitted challenge, my top score
04/30/2002 01:29:00 PM
nice colour
04/30/2002 01:08:00 PM
Beautiful!!
04/30/2002 09:55:00 AM
This is one of my favorite photos in this challenge. I don't see much here that could have been done better. I like the fact that the stem is blurred so it doesn't distract me from the backlit petals of this lovely flower. Excellent job!
04/30/2002 09:23:00 AM
The winner!
04/30/2002 09:00:00 AM
Very pretty. Very well shot.
04/30/2002 06:31:00 AM
awesome!
04/29/2002 10:59:00 PM
Very nice colors and composition. Well done!
04/29/2002 09:05:00 PM
Simply beautiful. I don't think I'd change a thing. Great job.
04/29/2002 07:19:00 PM
Nice composition The orange is great, but the green might be a little gross. Play with the levels a little bit to maybe darken the green fungus?

turns out this isn't as cliche as people thought, the rainbow of colors is great, i wish this was a little more crisp
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/29/2002 04:26:00 PM
Wow!
04/29/2002 03:10:00 PM
Increasing DOF may improve this picture. Good work !!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/29/2002 03:06:00 PM
Very nice, very simple. If you're getting comments at all similar to mine, people will be split on whether or not the stem should be in focus. I think it's just fine as it is.
04/29/2002 03:05:00 PM
beautiful colors...very nice shot.
04/29/2002 02:13:00 PM
amazing photo. the color is just brilliant.
04/29/2002 11:55:00 AM
Nice composition and colors. I especially like the tinge of purple around the middle.
04/29/2002 11:03:00 AM
beautiful
04/29/2002 11:01:00 AM
Marvelous!! Congratulations for your TEN
04/29/2002 10:50:00 AM
one of the best photos here, and also a very nice macro
04/29/2002 10:42:00 AM
This photo is beautifully composed, great lighting and vibrant colours. It just seems a little bit sterile... too geometric to hold my interest.

pleasant, muted colours, well framed. good entry.
04/29/2002 08:12:00 AM

04/29/2002 07:43:00 AM
