Wild Daisies, Sunset Cliffs
by ruthiek

Comment:
This picture comes across as very static to me. That's probably due to the prominent horizon and the flowers seeming so 'lined up'. I would have been able to appreciate it more if the main, center, flower would have shown just a little more detail. 6 Journey

3-D Botany
by dsidwell

Comment:
This is indeed the type of illustration/presentation you would expect in a botany book. And i like that look. But if that's what you were aiming for, methinks the bottom stems and right leaves should have been sharper as well. I'm not so keen on the yellowish background, white or grey would have been better imho. 6 Journey

(Lilium longiflorum)

Comment:
Too much of a good thing, i guess - at least for my taste. Would have preferred if one or two of these beautiful flowers had been emphasized. 5 Journey

Just off the path-
by justine

Comment:
This is really sweet. It DOES give me the sensation of walking around and my eye catching something of beauty that is humbly hidden unless you look carefully. I really like the saturated colors. Yellow and green is a color combination that clashes in painting but in nature it never does; beats me! This picture is really pleasant to contemplate. 8 Journey

Red Tulips

Comment:
Nice image. Would have cropped the background beyond the tulip field off; it's a bit distracting. 7 Journey

Swirling Green

Comment:
I always appreciate hosta leaves, but in real and in pictures. You gave them a nice, almost abstract here and there, treatment. Yet, there isn't any particular area in this shot that you emphasized and my eye is wandering around the picture plane and not quite knowing where it should rest. 6 Journey

Wood Hysynth and Fennel

Comment:
Just wished that front fennel branch wasn't there; it's too much in sharp focus. Appreciate the beauty of the flower opening up. 6 Journey

Holland Days

Comment:
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I love the two front flowers, purple and its complimentary yellow. That purple tulip is so alive. Dof is superb. And so are the colors, they are warm, rich, and lively and none of them clash. 10 Journey

The Eye Is The Gateway To The Soul
by Davenit

Comment:
This picture has a lot of 'presence'. That's probably due to the nice curvy composition and the wonderful complimentary colors of the orangy-red beak and the olive green background. Really nice colors, nice clarity, nice dof. 8 Journey
