Bright

I love the green contrasting background with the bright red orange of the flower. I think the dof is just fine. The only thing that might make the image stronger is if the flower is not so centered. Alot of times I will also tilt the camera in such a way that the stem or a leaf is coming in from the corner to lead the eye to the subject of the flower. You really did a great job on the color balance on this one. Got the color nearly perfect for the type of flower it is.

Couldn't make up your mind. Suits both challenges. Nicely done in the black and white.

Love the greens on this one. I think the border really frames the image well. Your leaf texture is so smooth. Looks very lush.

Industrial Flower

Interesting idea. I definitely love the lighting of the industrial aspect of the image. Not sure I like the use of the flower, though it seems to have something important to say with this combination.

This is a really wonderful abstract. Did you use negative image in your post processing? I love the white silhouette of the flying bird. Nicely composed and just a delightful image. The only thing I would change is the style. I think it might have more impact if it was done in landscape style rather than portrait. More dramatic that way and gives the bird more room to fly.

What a beautiful image. It is so much a statement of the early rising that goes on when you fish. This photo would be great if you could take it again for the morning challenge. Hmm, gives me an idea.

I cracked up on this one. Oh my God, what a great job you did. Don't know how great an ad it makes, but it is definitely very politically charged, and I love it.

Really nice photo. Lighting is great, and you really made the foreground bottle stand out with that wonderful yellow light behind it. Great job.

Yep, sex sells. Great image. Definitely one for Sports Illustrated, or one of those other sports mags.
