Sandy...based on our earlier corresspondance I can see that you are REALLY struggling coming to grips with your new macro lens!!!!

Tremendous image and I love the earthtones. The white border works very well to bring these out even further

As ever - You ROCK

Point Four

This was great macro, but - to my shame - I think I failed to get it. You are 100% right when you mention that no one said that the point of colour had to be light. I looked at this shot and thought 'beautiful but the colour - ie in my eyes that flower rather than the stamen - was not a point of colour.

I need to open my mind as well as my eyes a little.

I scored this a 5 but having read your description I can see this was a greivous underscore

Sorry Michelle, definitely a case of the voter being wrong and not the photo

So who is the father Rose?

Brilliant title that made me laugh out loud....More than that a rather lovely shot that meets the challenge well - I might have been tempted to lose the foreground rose but nonetheless a strong 8 from me

Wow hurts my eyes to even look at this, yet look at it I must as there is something hypnotic about the shot. Great interpretation< I guess it may not do too well in the contest but I think it is kinda cool - 9

Lovely capture, I may have preferred this without the cool box etc to simplify the image a little but still a wonderful take on the challenge (oh and if anyone complains that it is meant to be a single colour as the point then damn their literalist eyes!) 9

Its an 8 from me

beautiful shot that meets the challenge wonderfully

(I wonder how many other awful 'jokes' you got about the title? Sorry you are probably sick of them by now, I just could not help myself)

The Swimming Hole

Wow tremendous shot and as Michelle pointed out a 6+ in free study is nothing to be sneezed at

Beautiful reflections and the richness of the colour almost gives the shot a tonemapped/HDR feel to it

Looks like a wonderful place to get back to nature and the sort of image that makes me think 'I want to go there' (although I would wonder what wildlife lurked in that water)

ETA - Is that a knotted 'swing rope' on the right of the shot if so you can become my hero by telling me that that was what you used to enter the water on the Sunday

Woohoo! Another ribbon, great ethereal quality on this shot. Love the leading line and the way the fence and the tree 3/4 frame the field

Great job Peter
