A Primarily Peaceful Spring

I agree with some of the comments below. I think that the three images taken individually are pretty nice. Together, however, there is not a visual impact that causes the viewer to be impressed.

I don't prefer the "peace sign" presentation - it causes me to focus more on your processing when I look at it than on your images - but I do like what you did with it in terms of having a darker area where the images are on the edge of the circle.

I also think the image is a little unbalanced as far as having two of the images have green backgrounds and one without. Perhaps choosing different pictures or a different layout would have suited this challenge better. Overall not a terrible entry, and one I am happy to have seen.

I scored this image pretty highly during voting. I think that the presentation of the three images worked very nicely. It was unique, and it drew attention to the flower and leaf while still making the dirt an important part.

I think the main problem that you have is that the image looks a little unbalanced - perhaps, as was mentioned, there was too much white. The eye is a little confused looking at the image. A smaller problem is that I can see a line of processing in the lower left corner of the leaf box.

I like your theme - having the leaf and the flower together with the dirt really does portray "life" and I think the addition of the ant was a lovely touch. I love your lighting - setting it out in the sun was nice - and I love the drops of water that you included.

All in all, great job.

I loved this and gave it a ten. I thought it was unique and artistic, and balanced very well to give a nice triptych composition.

I personally like this one a lot better. I love the yellow and blue combination a ton. I do think it probably wouldn't have scored as well though.

Oh my goodness. I thought this would be top ten for sure and probably even a ribbon. Definitely one of my top picks.

Love it. Absolutely love it. Very emotional and reflective of what everyone feels at times.

Oh gosh, such awesome colors!! I love them. I also like the interesting "tilting" feeling that the background has.
