Flowers & Fungus
by Hipychik

Comment:
I like the cheerful bright flowers. I also like the fungus. Something about the top of the stump bothers me. It is a little hard for my eye to process, perhaps there is too much contrast there or too much sharpening.

What a wonderful, cheerful shot!!! And look, there is not a 1, 2, or 3 vote in the whole lot. Fabulous. I love the filters -- just right. Congratulation on the 6 and on the good finish and on the PB. Oh, and you got a FAV!

I have never heard of Urban Acid, but I like this effect. I like the way it took away the shadow on the white wall and downplayed the bricks in the foreground. I would mask the high red wall to bring back that interesting color and texture, and I think I would mask the sign in the foreground to bring back some of that red.

I like this a lot. I think the subject is very good for impressionism, and I like the extreme red of the model's hair. The costume is great, and I really like the light blowing out her face slightly. I happen to like the PS filters, when applied artistically, but I don't think the average DPC voters do. Anyway, I like this one better than your entry, which was good too.

I probably would have given this a 5. I find the circles distracting. The colors, light, reflection and composition are pleasing. I agree it's hard watching the voters kick a shot you like, but unfortunately I'm getting used to that.

Great subject and excellent PP. I'm going to have to get PP lessons from you. I love the mood of this shot. It makes me want to be there.

Oh, I almost forgot, congratulations on you 5th place!!!

Reflections And Lily Pads

This is beautiful, Terry. I love the light and the composition of the lily pads. The background is a perfect complement, and does a good job of imitating impressionistic painting.

Hey, Jeffery, I tried exactly the same thing -- vaseline on a UV filter shooting sunbathers at the beach. I had exactly the same experience -- couldn't see a thing except the vaseline. I kept wiping and shooting. BUT I never did get a good shot from it. There lies the big difference in our photography. You got a marvelous shot. Congratulations.

Congratulations on your ribbon. I love your composition and the lighting. I wish you could remember which filters you used. I really like the brush stroke effect, but frankly I'm not fond of the white spots. Thanks for sharing the original.
