Flaming Hibiscus

Another one that with the leaves looks alive, but the texture says is wilting some. Wish I knew which. Looks like the bugs got to the leaves also. Would have picked a differend flower or cropped that out. Also would have cropped out the empty black on the other side. Would have been much better with just the bloom stnding alone. As it is there appears to be part of the plant missing, but probably just hidden by a shadow. There is a lot of potential for this with a little better execution.

Beautiful ring. But what is the white one it. Looks like powdered sugar and like there's more on the table under it. The more I look at it the less I'm sure it's a ring, but maybe a broach, because of the bottom. What ever it is is a beautiful piece of jewelry. But the white is very distracting as is the shadow.

At first wanted to say needs more focus, then thought no, now think yes. It needs better focus in the center, then if you want the outsides a little off, ok. Maybe just sharpening it would accomplish the desired effect. Beautiful flower.

Nice shades of yellow. Like the mixture of flowers, and their differences. Nice touch. This is just a thought, but if you look at it you should have pulled the one on the right out from under the center one making a circle of flowers surrounding the large different one, making the photo more symetrical. Also that way one of its' leaves wouldn't be into the center of the one above it. Just a thought. Nice as it is though. Good focus and lighting.

Nice close up/macro for texture. Is that the natural texture or is the flow wilting just a little? Kinda wish the depth of focus was just a little deeper so I could see the texture of the limb also, but it's ok as is. Just a personal thing with this particular photo. Nice yellow and a really nice photo. Well done.

Would never have thought of this. So simple yet so right on. Love the texture that comes thru so clearly. Can't fault you on this one. Not exciting but right on photographicly.

This is absolutely beautiful. Is it considered to be a flower, or a plant. I love it. This should be number 1. It is a fantastically done photo, plus it is so unique. You nailed this one. Congratulations on your 10.

How many "what does this have to do with yellow?" have you gotten? I think this was a really different way to meet the challenge, and is nice for a change. And the photo is absolutely beautiful. I personally would have liked a deeper depth of focus, but that's just me. What kind of bird are these? This is a great photo, and deserves an 8.

Wish I totally understood how to do this to get this clear of black and white and then a different color. My color fades too much. This is really well done. Not an overly exciting photo, but you sure nailed the yellow part of the challenge. Good job. Wish the nuckles on the left hand had been in as good of focus as the rest of the composition. Still a nice job.

This is a very beautiful photo and very unique. The composition is fantastic. Love the texture of the rocks. This looks like we are there in person. Needless to say it is a 10.
