There are a lot of distracting elements in this photo - the reflection in the near water, the crappy land in the middle, the trees before the color...Is color really a central and tying idea to this pic or is it just a pic with good colors in it? Just my 2c. :) Keep shooting!

Interesting idea and pattern. I think overall the colors are a bit darker than I'd like, especially along the edges. The holder is also necessary BUT distracting.

Colorful Bloom

Damn Damn Damn! I'm not sure how much control you had over this shot, but that flower is PERFECT. I wish the bg was one solid color - a studio shot of some kind - for a flower this beautiful. The colors are amazing and this would truly be one of my faves of the week if the bg wasn't so discombobulated.

Excellent choice of color. I like the focus and the detail is clear. One of the better flower pics this week. (Different color from typical choices too - good). I want to move in on these just a hair - see what's going on even more... but great job. 8

A Colourful Snack

Thought I left a comment already on this one, but I guess not.

The details are amazing - looking at the hair under the fly and on its legs. The center of the flower is in focus as well - all of which is superb. Nice job throwing the background out of focus - I love this shot. 8

Temple of Iris

Comment:
I love the apparent 'door' on the temple and even the walkway. As nice as the color is, I think the yellow on the right is distracting and takes my eyes away from the center. I like the focus but just for kicks - what if they were reversed and the 'path' was clear, while the temple was blurry because it's farther away?

Spring Tones

This is one of the best 'flower' shots of the week. I like the dark green and the way it's not cropped tightly left and top. I wish the right wasn't cropped off (petals).

What better colors?

What better colors... a slightly bluer, less cloudy sky? Good capture, though. I like the feel...the direction seems backwards...weird. 8

Fire at Night

Extraordinary capture of the colors. I wonder what this would be like if we could see a bit of the fire's origins, but I like it this way as well. The camera captured SO many shades (especially in the top center). Love it. 8

Purple Peepers

I like the green egg as using color to compose the shot. However, the closest peep is overexposed and the egg isn't near the center of the shot - so it's hard to figure out what is going on - why are there three? What if you did the same thing with the two ducks (mother and father?) looking over one green egg, like "why is it GREEN?" THAT is a colorful composition! :)
