Rose and Grapes

Comment by C-Fox:
Oh Wow!!! What a great shot. I think this is another one I will have to try sometime. Particularly since roses, grapes, and candles are all things I can get ahold off.

Roses and Grapes came off much more powerfully in my opinion. The grapes kinda make the background a little noisy with the feel of the rest of the image. After seeing this one I would try the same setup (less grapes) and a tighter crop. Still a cool low light shot. (6 if I was voting and please see my comments on 'Roses and Grapes')

HEY, now I REALLY like this one. It's interesting how some of the lines in the grapes and some of the lines in the rose match up so closely it makes the rose seem almost translucent. Did you plan this (it woulda been hard in the dark) or get lucky??? Nice complimentery hues (not sure if hue is the right term...still trying to relearn all this stuff myself) and textures. The glare around the flame is slightly distracting but not obnoxiously so. If I was scoring it (with no real topic involved) it would be 8 or 9.

You beat me by .0031 !!!!!! Congradulations!!! I drive a Blue Bird for the Army sometimes. I dont know why the company name is Blue Bird when the Buses are yellow????
