Petal Abstract

Flower abstracts rule! These look so soft that they look like parrot feathers. Graceful, nice color.

Yes! This is what I mean when I say that flowers don't have to be boring! This is ridiculously gorgeous.

Raindrops

Excellent clarity on the water droplets, but a little too straightforward a shot. I would love to see this cropped to, say, the lower left quadrant, a square crop involving only the petals with the flower center off center a bit - get a detail shot that really takes advantage of the water, plus the color and texture of the petals. There's so much interesting detail in there that I want to see it up close, and also so much that it borders on being a rather busy photo.

I've seen a lot of dandelion shots lately, and mostly they all look the same, but this is a standout. It's a nice perspective, a nice b/w.

Gorgeous! A very effective white on white.

Nice simple yet interesting capture. Don't tell anyone it's silk and let them guess at how you got the flower stem to spiral so nicely ;-)

Yay for abstracts! I love the colors and the starry look. The impression of the flowers is definitely still in there!

This is beautiful. Very simple, but I like the warm tone and the soft light. Definitely a nice capture.

I like rear flower shots! I have one on my site, though it's not uploaded to my profile. I'm not sure I'm crazy about the grain, but I like the color and the water droplet on the petals. :-)

Yay sunflowers! Aren't sunflowers great? Such fantastic texture in their centers! I love partial flower shots, too, where you get in and get to see the detail. :-D
