I think.. you should have cropped out the bottom with the shoe and doggy bits.

I would have liked this a bit better with cropping out the feet at the bottom. They are a little distracting to the image. Doesn't change my score though. 7

Very nice. I would have cropped the dog's leg out, and kept the composition pure shadow - but his is definitely a great take on the challenge.

One of the "weird = fine art" efforts I think, or submitting that an everyday subject photographed in an unusual manner will equal fine art. I'm not so sure about that. Technically interesting, with pleasing light; the big black block does nothing for me, and I would have preferred seeing something more restrained back there, a neutral background filled with the soft shadow of the flower, and texture, as of film grain. A restrained split tone in blue would have been lovely too.

very good silhouette, but I think that you should have tried a little bit harder to capture the perfect photo. 7

My canned response: whatever one's definition is of fine/contemporary/modern art, I think this entry is too much like business as usual at DPC. In this case: a flower photo. I think it is gorgeous, with great color and clarity, and I like how the stem is lit. I'd have no problem giving it high points in a free study. Still, I give you points for turning it upside down. :-)

I think this would have been an awesome shot if you would have cropped the dog out and just kept the shadow. Still a very nice image 7
