The Old Make Room for the New

Good idea for a study in contrasts here. Bit lacking in the crispness of both the old and new blooms to truly do it justice.

Interesting use of selective desat. The one problem with the composition is the pole in the middle that essentially cuts your picture in half. Appropriate subject for the challenge.

Good new car shot, and that be a Texas plate... :-)

Spring's Bloom

The composition here is very nice - I like the squarish crop, the bud in front of the OOF blooming roses, and the smaller buds below. Not sure if you saw the spider webs and mites before you shot, but next time you can try hosing off the plant a little before you take the picture (I know, because I have the same problems with my roses.)

Nice composition/crop.

I like the composition of this with the diagonal formed by the buds. The focus needs to be sharper on the first bud to really spark the picture.
