LOL... this looks like one of those greeting cards wwith the mellow colors in a photograph. Really very very nice. Love the bright color, and your use of DOF... great focus. Overall awesome photo! Perfect 10!

P.S. My pick for best of the entries! I really do love this picture... especially the fact that you used a Dandelion... just awesome, very professionally done... I hope you put this up for sale!!! This is seriously one of my favorites I've seen on here in quite a while! Congrats!

Very pretty and clean looking. It looks like you used a filter on the back, or a blur technique.. but I'm hoping that you didn't because there's no spot editing. Really nice use of DOF here... and great focus on the stamen. Nice use of composition... I really like the way it comes out of the corner, I'm guessing you used a macro lens or macro setting, and that everything that is crystal clear was on the same plane? Very beautifully done! I'm pretty sure I've seen these in the wild too, so it definitely fits the challenge. Although it's sort of plain, it is just very well done so I'm giving it a 10. Good luck!

I don't care for the composition on this photo... the main subject falls right in the middle of the page... and there is just too much going on. Good use of DOF though... and good colors. I definitely would have cropped some off the top, as for the rest I'm not sure, it's kind of akward.

This is SOOO pretty... the DOF really makes the photo here... good use of rule of thirds... love the clarity of the flowers, and because their purple thats the first thing that catches your eyes... This looks like a photo of a flower pasted onto a painting. It's really great... solid 10 from me! Hope it does well!

Red Tulips

Repetitiveness makes this photo... at first I was thinking it was too centered but when I looked at the whole photo I kind of like it that way... Nice colors and good use of DOF.

A California Pasture

I keep coming back to this photo because it's such a pleasant scene... yet there are some things that bother me about it... I'm thinking this would have looked better with more yellow in the foreground, so that the scene didn't split almost exactly in the middle. Also the flowers in the front have some bright white spots on them due to harsh sunlight... too bad you couldn't have the ponies head coming up... I like your DOF though, and your view of this. Getting down and shooting more upwards might have been better too... and although it is small, the (spider?) on the left flower is distracting because you can't tell exactgly what it is and it kind of just looks like a black spot that attracts your eyes. Nice though. -7-

Grass and a Lazy Day

This one would have been great for Fauna as well! I hope you don't get counted down because of ignorance... grass is definitely a plant that few people probably think... I thought of it as a given before I went to Australia Anyway... great perspective... very nice job. I like it!

LOVE how the one in the left hand corner is the only flower in focus, this makes the photo more interesting then everything being in focus... I wish you would have gotten down a little more but this is still a cool photo. Very colorful and pretty... nice job... I wouls have maybe cropped some off the top to the top of the second red tulip but still a very nice photo!
