I like so many things about this shot - the colors, the arrangement, the lighting.
I also really appreciate that you took against a real sky, not a computer monitor. |

hello again,
i think you already know this one is awesome. let me break it down for you.
the sky is great. maybe a bit more puffy clouds. the colors are amazing. the focus is spot on. and the lighting is excellent (with a bit of shadow for depth).
the idea is incredible. well done and congratulations on the ribbon. very well deserved. |

| I'll bet that took some setting up and it was well worth it. I particularly like the way that the stems create a pattern all of their own. A lovely, colourful shot with, as the challenge says, a great rhythm. |

Congrats on the ribbon. This is one of those shots where you think "damn, I need those ideas let alone the ability to execute them well"
I didn't even notice the title was misspelt til you pointed it out, and the border doesn't really bother me.
I love how you've captured every texture in the 'q-tips' (pfft, americans :P) and got that sense of colour and movement.
The only things I'd hazard to suggest for improvement would be
1- grain in the sky. A perfect sky would have made this even more awesome. 2- A teensy bit of a lower crop at the bottom, just so that the purple drips don't touch the frame (yeah i'm fussy, but its hard to critique a ribboner lol)

From the Critique Club :
Congrats for your first ribbon ! A blue one , that's great !
First things that came to my mind when I saw your photo were : original , very creative.That's something I value because the elements you used are easy to find ; the way you have used them , your idea , was very good.
All is in focus , it's colorful , it's pleasant to see.
To improve it ? well , hard to say , maybe less noise in the sky (surely due to the unsharp mask and sharpening).
Enjoy it , Tim !
(Please feel free to email me for anything related with this critique)
