Comment by ScooterMcNutty:
i love the focus and sharpness, although i would've liked to see more contrast between the background and the flower... really good besides that.

With this image you have technically met the challenge. I recognize this is a fingerprint... I think it's such a huge fingerprint that CSI wouldn't even need their complicated computers to match this to a suspect! I can't believe you got that level of detail... what a piece of glass you must have! With all that said, I think you have gotten a bit too close here. The skin is kind of grey and dark. You did get some great textures here! I'll bet you could posterize this and make a fine piece of graphic art to hang on the wall!

Lovely b & w shot, fab detail and contrast in the rose. The odd bit of leaf at the left is a tad distracting - would prefer to see it cloned out and possibly a slight rotation of the rose counter clockwise to improve the composition.

Very clever! By the way, according to Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) you are wanted in Idaho.

Thin ice.

Comment by AbeSapien2:
Perhaps it is thin ice but the clear patterns in it are quite beautiful. They are not as random as would first be assumed as the water does freeze in precise patterns. These overlapping crackles are magnicently delicate as is the mound of fallen snowcap.
