Profiles of Purple

The composition here works for me, even though some may say left to right is more appropriate - I'm kinda fond of right to left. I especially like just the touch of yellow along with the proliferation of purples. I suspect what really hurt your score was the lack of focus on the flowers and the underexposure of the ones closest to the viewer.

Nice score, and an addition to your top row on your profile page, no less! It's bold, bright, simple and has a nice strong diagonal. I don't really notice the blurriness you mention all that much; the texture of the wood is nice against the smoothness of the color and I suppose a bit more sharpening might have helped. I suspect it would have done better had the orange been more "orange" - it looks a little reddish on my monitor.

I don't get why folks couldn't figure out how this was done without requesting validation, but take comfort in the knowledge it wasn't just yours - seems everyone who did something like this had "validated" on their entry. Extra point for the clever title and overall creativity.

I did the "invert" thing on this during the challenge voting and would have preferred it in more natural tones. I realize you probably did the saturation thing to give it more "spark", though. I suspect a less cluttered background might have helped a bit too. Overall, I like the concept behind the picture, and you pulled it off pretty well.

Good score on this one. My favorite thing about the picture is the composition - I really like the diagonal formed and the shape of the flowers. The colors are good - rich and bright - but maybe a bit too saturated. The blown bits take away from the overall impression, though. I also like the perspective you chose, looking up a bit, but wish the "open" space on the right was smaller or not as bright.

Good shot as a positive. Very good shot as a negative.

A bit overexposed but a great idea for negative.

Colors are good and it's an interesting composition, but the subject appears to be out of focus.

Busy seems to work well in negative. A bit oversharpened, though.
