I think this is one of my favorites of the challenge. I love the clarity of everything and the reflections in each droplet is specatular!

You know I cannot vote on this but I wanted to tell you that I think this is GORGEOUS! Love the lighting and the shades of yellow on the flower. Great DOF and Bokeh (if I have that right). Plants are your thing woman! Good luck!

There is some seriously interesting drama going on here but unfortunately it is a little too dark on my screen. I would like to have seen the faces a little bit more to catch their expressions.

Whoo hoo the 80s is making a comeback lol. I love the pose, love the gaze. The green patch on the lips is a distraction. With his eyes and nice skin, I'd say that the makeup is actually hiding his good looks.

lol still using your camcorder... I'm sure you will see a world of difference once you get your new camera.

Great symmetry with your subjects and I like the colorful background!

You caught some gorgeous lighting here. What really jumped out at me were the small candles. They seem so crisp and clear.

Beautiful photo. The black and white contrasts are supreme. I love how this photo is just reaching into the sky!

Black and white is indeed the best choice. Two colors lets the viewer focus solely on the earth and sky - instead of the blend of colors. Love the perspective and the border is an excellent complement!

Whiterooks comment cracks me up. We shall now pause and think for a moment...

I like the background because it helps the red to stand out. One thing I am now learning with my camera has to do with the f-stop. I think a bigger number would increase the area of focus. Please do keep running with your ideas and if you get a chance, show them to others before you get ready to enter the challenge. That might help you feel better as you watch your pictures get scoredon. But do not let the voters define who you are as an artist - do what you like, and keep focusing on what you like, so you can be the best at it.
