Nice to see another of the few entries that acknowledge the "other side" of Ansel's best work, the muted, luminous "detail images" that he did so well. I'd have liked to see enough DOF that all the petals were in sharp focus, is my main nit here, but nicely done. I don't think the heavy-handed border is helping you much, but it's not that serious a hindrance either; I think it would have worked better if the white keyline were at 1 (or maybe 2) pixels width instead of the 8 or so it seems to be.

Still life, San Fransico

Hah! Bravery points awarded here. You HAVE studied your Ansel, haven't you? Execution falls a little short, unfortunately, most noticeably in the light dropoff front to back on the egg cutter; my eye is drawn inexorably to the bottom left and out of the image by the flow of light, and that's very un-Adams. If the lighting were a tad more even, you'd have been able to better-express the purity of the white tones: you have them mostly on Zone VI where they really want to be clustered around Zone VII... Also the cropping lower left is very arbitrary. Sharpness is excellent, DOF is very good, detail is excellent, composition (especially on the right side and lower left) is a bit lackluster. Still, a good effort and one that goes beyond the surface of Ansel's most popular imagery.

ETA: Pity about the misspelling of "Francisco" in the title :-(
