Imaginative and a good fit for the Challenge. I wonder if it would have been even better with a vertical composition...

Oh, that looks cold. Best time to spread the stuff though probably, to kill the odor.

Fine photo, btw, shows the weather and the surroundings well.

Another very nice setup shot for the Bond Challenge. Good one, Stefan, and you beat your prediction too!

Oh, yes, beautifully photographed, by the way.

White Rose 1

Another (um, er) I saved this for last, hoping for inspiration. I found it. This is the other universe the other white flower went to and it's just peeking through. (Smily face here)

Seriously though, or at least moderately so, the two that I am calling the (Um Er-s) are nice experiments and I think you have three marketable ones for sure in this batch.

IF that wounded leg of yours is making you turn to macro photography, it's good for something. This is beautiful stuff. Keep it coming.

(Um, er, )to my all too conventional eyes, looks as if this rose lost its battle with gravity and is sailing off into another universe.

Another beauty. With the foil of the black background, it shows off the lovely texture of the creamy rose.

Pink Rose

This is a classic shot of a rose. One of the reasons it's a classic is that when done well, it really is the essence of a rose.

You've done this well. Frame and hang.

Flower of January

Talj, you can get as many opinions as there are photographers - so here's mine:

I very much like the text font. Actually I very much like everything about this carnation shot, except that "if it was mine" I'd probably crop to just under the carnation bottom eliminating all, or nearly all the dark stuff under the flower.

Better? Worse? Who knows. Different, I suppose.
