That's a great shot. Should have broken 6 at least and been in the top 50!

Lovely colors and a really wonderful composition. Should have finished higher IMHO!

Very nice Cher! Beautiful soft feel and colors. You might consider a small crop on the right, so that only the center of the main flower has that pink color which draws your eye.

Took your email as an opportunity to see what's new in your portfolio--and this excellent shot jumped to my eyes. Nicely done--good pose and excellent lighting and sharpness. I'd like to see the landscape version you like as well.

Love the idea and composition. The skin colors seem a bit posterized; Perhaps some curves and level adjustements, or maybe redoing the B&W conversion might help. Or maybe this was what you were after :)

I'd also like to see some detail in the eyes.

Tuggin' on a broken heart

Excellent catch of the heart shape! Very cool.

I am sure if DPC allowed larger images this would have done better. The 640 resolution doesn't do it justice--at this size you have a moiré pattern interfering with viewing the smooth flowing pattern which I'll bet is clear at full size.

Did you get any other "natural" shapes?
