The first flower shot that's come up for voting for me ... and what a cracker! Absolutely beautiful. I really like the extreme tight composition so that the flower becomes it's own background, and the square frame works really well. Colours & lighting are spot on. Well done & good luck!

I am a purest when it comes to photography. I don't even like to crop my pictures. So when I read your personal comments I was a little disappointed in how much altering of the origional picture you had done. I checked out the origional photo and that one I would not have graded as high. This of course is a personal opinion. So leaving my prejudices out of this I shall comment. I am really big into using the elements of design to create fantastic photographs. Your point of view, perspective, lines, shapes and forms, pattern, reflection,and texture,makes this picture come alive. The rich blues vs the gray stones make for a dramatic contrast. The curvature of the columns gives the picture some depth. Very sharp image and excellent cropping. What I appreciate the most is the fact that you have an eye for the beauty that surrounds us all and then you were able to capture it using the camera. Great job! JOHN GILL

Good shot, nice focus on the pins. Background seems pretty grainey though.

Is this a zoom picture? Neat effect. You lose some detail in the middle - but I dont think the middle of the flower is the interesting thing here. Nice work.

I would like to know how you accomplished this. It's a very nice study in yellow.
