Too bad about the channel clipping.

I actually found this one to be very pleasing based on the shapes and color contrasts. I voted 7.

the pov is great here- it just seems a little over saturated.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the background in this one. I don't know that I like the vertical crop as well.

What fun to see such eye-catching color. This certainly is a gem of a photo with its sharp image of such details.

Beautiful colors, I may have liked it better with a little tighter crop, but there is beautiful detail in this flower.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 02:54:30 PM
that color really catches your eye, focal point on the center of the flower is good, dof good
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:24:18 PM
One of the better flower shots I've seen. Beautiful colors and the centered framing seems to work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:53:41 AM
Good shot. I feel that if the background had more OOF it would score even higher.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 10:45:38 AM
what a great angle on thie, beautiful colors and really like the DOF
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Ouch those reds. Lovely composition but the processing leaves a lot to be desired.

A little too saturated

In the most unexpected place imaginable, it awoke. There, among the lazy field of summer flowers, with the grasses blowing in the breeze, and a silence about that place, it suddenly found itself alive, and conscious.

It didn't know why, or how, or did it even much care, for it was like to a newborn in its thoughts, and because of this it was mostly instinct that governed it then, and with instinct came the basics of thought. Those of confusion, fear, and hunger.

And as it cast about, desperately searching for a way to settle that hunger, that so blinded it to all else for the moment, it came to the realization that it could not move from this spot, anchored to the ground by a single stem, and there was no food within reach. Then the fear and confusion became terror and anger, and it reached its face to the sky and gave a great cry of frustration, it's many yellowed teeth bared, and its lament went unheeded.

Wonderful detail on the centre of the flower, I would like to have seen the background more out of focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:32:55 AM
A nice warm photo with lots of reds to push that. Great focus on the flower and the colors again are rich. Like how you gave the flower plenty of room to breath at the top of the picture.

Shallower depth of field would've helped this and a different crop. As is the flower almost gets lost in the background.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

nice contrasting colours, seems a bit oversaturated
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:45:51 AM
Like the color and DOF. Very effective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 11:12:26 PM
Shallower DOF would have been nice to set the subject apart more.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:55:04 PM
Very orange... almost too orange! The greens even look orange. The sharpness of the subject is good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 07:42:30 PM
Excellent color with this image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:01:01 PM
not enough DOF
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I have not seen this type of flower before, it's lovely.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:20:02 PM
nice colors and composition, but the background is a little busy and the main subject gets lost in it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:37:43 AM
nice colors
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:15:06 AM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:38:25 AM
Beautiful shot but I think that on my end it is a bit harsh.. might just be because of the gray surrounding it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:20:21 AM
Very nice DOF and beautiful coloring. Good framing also.
