excellent work, bringing this most interesting flower to life, and in the middle of the day, at that! great job. and might i say, a love bokeh, as well. i hope this image is not getting blown over in this super-sized challenge; this is quite a shot, but unfortunately it is also one that takes more than a blip to appreciate. good luck with this, and with the challenges yet to come! thanks for sharing.

Three Times Not Lucky

this is an arresting image. you've managed an excellent exposure, and really captured all the textures. the only thing i don't like is your title (and i'm NOTdeducting points for that). good luck!

edit: i just re-read my comment and realized i left out the NOT. sorry for any consternation that caused...

Blue on Blue

ok, please bear with me. voting this challenge is extremely difficult, not just because of the size, but because we are dealing with images that people consider their best. it makes even constructive criticism hard...

this is a beautiful image, and i really love the colors. however, as a challenge entry, it just doesn't have any visual drama that is going to grab the viewer and hold them. this would be perfect for a travelogue, but i doubt if it will fare to well with the dpc voters. you'll get a 6 from me. good luck!
