Daisies in the rain

Love the main flower and the contrast of it against the dead one.

One bit of CC I would give is that as this was fairly heavily processed anyway I would have removed the very vertical stem from the image as well, this would have allowed for a slightly tighter crop to the right which I think would give a little more balance to the overall image.

Still I do really like this, one thing that really is interesting is the way the background suggests movement and the flowers are perfectly still, that's a really nice effect.

I really like this, I also like the crop personally, although I think had someone been exiting the photo far right so you just caught the side of them that would have just finished it off for me :)

I love the B&W conversion and I like the way the lines lead me into the image.

Sorry about your score here Jessie I think you were robbed a bit as it is a clever shot, probably down to the fact it required more than 2 seconds to actually see what's going on in the shot :(

As I said I would have scored this 7 or 8 had I been voting just for using a flip but adding something original in to it to make the flip mean something.

I would like to add to my comment below actually (as I posted in the challenge postmortem thread) and please bear in mind I was only commenting so came at it from a different angle than most others (voters and those leaving comments).

I think as you say there were a reasonably large amount of entries that were just a flip rotation without the flip / rotation adding anything to the image, I think the important thing here was had you added an element of upside down in this image (a glass full of fluid that was pointing to the top of the image as one other person did) it would have better met the challenge.

Sorry if my comment sounded harsh it wasn't meant as a rant and I do think this is technically a very good SP.

Give me one of those cold light drinks, please...

As I said in my comment during voting, this was one image I really liked, I am surprised to see it did not strike more of a chord with the voters to be honest. But then we all know what a fickle bunch they can be :)

Great shot IMO

Shame mate, you were so obviously slaughtered by the 2 second voters!

I think this is a stunning shot and that score is more an embarrasment to the voters of DPC not to you :(

LOL that is so funny, I had you down as the couple that put the two almost identical woodland shots with the girl walking away in to the distance a few challenges ago, oops heh.

Definitely a sky that is crying out for some dodge / burn and even a softlight / multiply layer or two to bring out that purpley red in the top right, I think this has the makings of a really good image, I would also be tempted to alter the hue of the sea and make it a little more contrasty theres some good detail in the water.

Actually I have just spent 5 minutes on some of the above and already I think the potential in the image is starting to show.
