Yes, the petals have a neon touch to them, but I'm not very good at these things, so can't give any tips. In any event, I like the crispness (is that the right word?) of the picture.

Simple, but very effective composition. I really like it.

Interesting background effect, something different!

Did you have to mask the web as well, or was it enough to mask the spider?

Originally posted by basssman7: Great effort and a nice image. However I just see way to many of these images. Mount the camera on a pod in or outside of the vehicle and head down the highway snapping away. The image would normally be an 8, but for lack of originality it is now a 5. sorry.

There is famous Munich comedian (Karl Valentin) who said: "It has all been said, but not by all" which would translate for photography to "It has all been photographed before, but not by all."

So one could just sit in a corner and wait for the one idea that hasn't occured to anyone before - how boring.

Some time ago, I took a photography course at the local adult education center there had a much better suggestion: First imitate, then inovate.

In short: Who cares if it has been done before?

To me this is an absolutely stunning shot, fits the challenge perfectly, and one of the few examples where the title actually adds to the concept in the picture.

Nice! I'd personally prefer it without the reflection at the top, though.

As a tribute to Whiterook I should give it a 1 - but it's just a too nice, warm portrait for that!
