Funky. The blossom looks very delicate in comparison to the leaves.

Day 11 - Poppies at sunset

Comment:
Poppies are often such flamboyant flowers, but here they look soft and delicate with that great lighting. Very nice.

Very cheery indeed, and if they are called Irish Eyes I may have to get some ;-)

Beautiful; love the composition and colors and the detail on the ant is phenomenal!!

Nice bee! Maybe need a bit more DOF to get some more of the flowers in focus, or crop down to the flower with the bee and below (though then you'd lose that nice bud) and darken the background to make the foreground stand out better. The bee is perfectly exposed but the flowers are a little bright and their detail isn't as apparent as it could be.

Maybe red crape myrtle? Quite a vibrant shade and it looks good against the sky. I might didge some on the flowers to bring out some detail.

Dahlia

Great colors and patterns in the Dahlia. Would definitely do something with the background, maybe darkening and coloring the black/blue at the top to be green and blend in better.

Day 8

I can still see the texture on the bottom of the open bud; it's very cool. If you have time you could try cloning some texture onto the blown bits. Side challenges are for processing experiments ;-)

That does some neat things to really pull out the detail on the foreground flowers. I may have to take a look at it!

ETA: Dang; only plugs in to Photoshop. Some day I will be forced to join the majority just so I can play with all the cool plugins.
