I love the deep color and contrast in this! Hit the thirds with each head in the top line axis. Good use of negative space to the right and bottom. Your choice on DOF makes sense...should go without saying, but hey - you never know. I'm guessing top 3 on this with a nice Red ribbon to add to your stats! Congrats in advance.

Very creative and enjoyable image. Coming back thru to comment. I've already given this a 10 so I can't bump it any more. ;^)

Congratulations in advance on your ribbon. I'll predict Blue!

I'd be curious to know which lens you used for this shot; the 28-80 or 70-300? Sigma or Nikon? It looks like you're getting good lighting for the two images I've seen posted tonight. I like the angle you've taken this at - add's to the image quite well.

Anyway. Smile and keep having fun! ;^)

Ok - Three flower shots in a row. All well done I might add. ;^) This one surprised me as a choice for 'Pattern'. It's hard to get past the whole item and see the pattern. The brain automatically says "flower" rather than "oooh...cool pattern". I get the connection, but I'm thinking not many voters slowed down enough to give this shot due consideration.

As for the image itself, I really like the choice of composition and the exposure is right on setting up a nice tonal range. For some reason my eyes keep coming back to that one curled up petal positioned lower center...not a bad thing, just an observation.

Anyway - I was just catching up on some of the members I have marked as favorites and was passing thru your area.

Smile and keep having fun! ;^)
