Another brilliantly conceived and delivered shot. It is strange about the low votes, but I guess you are a noticeable one and people must be annoyed with your success here. Too bad. I think it is a brilliant series and can't wait for the next installment.

This is a great shot - the stillness and mirror-like quality of the water in the harbor, the backlit sky, the details still contained in the everdarkening foreground - really good work. I think your shot has suffered from the 720pixel issue. There is so much going on and so much to look at that many voters are a bit overwhelmed. I think a larger format viewing - a large print - would do this one better than a small screen shot for DPC.

DPC seems to have turned into one where only clean and simple images score well. In my FS entry, I got a 'too busy' for an image that was simple...I haven't quite figured out why the change recently, but alas, you have a great image and one that many of us enjoy.

Dew Drops on Tulip

Excellent use of bright colors, interesting shapes and use of control of focus. I actually think it is a very good quality image and would have given it a 7 during voting had I had time to vote.

I wonder if a slightly different crop/ rotation so that flower center is oriented and centered a bit more geometrically would have raised the score. With the fact that the red 'border' not being even and also not offset siginficantly, the photo appears a bit unbalanced. Taking care to provide the same space around the image throughout would have given it a more polished look. That's my impression anyway - but like I said above - I like the image and I think it works pretty darn well!

I see you got your wish - 7th seems like a top 20 to me. Great shot, good score, nice finish!

The warm and translucent lighting, the choice of almost rose colored sepia, and the lovely simply comp works so well together.

what an unusual and interesting plant - i don't recall ever seeing these before

the b/w really works here - with the background contrasting nicely against the vertical plants
