WOW! My favorite flower in the whole world, photographed to absolute perfection! I hope everyone is loving your frame as much as I do. They normally tend to kill big frames -- but in this case I think it really adds to the overall look of the photo. This is one of my favorites so far, and that's saying alot since there are so many amazing ones.

Comment by Konador:
Composition: 7 - Well composed, with just enough space around the flowers, with them creating interesting shapes in the frame.
Technical: 3 - Looks way too soft and too compressed. You had 200kb to work with in this challenge but you only used about 60. The black background is also a splotchy grey which looks to me like you've not calibrated your monitor properly. Lighting etc on the plants is good though.
Creativity: 4 - Nothing special about flowers on a black background.
Appeal: 4 - Nice vibrant colours but the border is too large and the compression/softness really spoils it imo.

Overall Calculated Average Score: 4

So sorry about the DQ but it is indeed a lovely image and will remain so despite the DQ. By the way, my sister's name is Diana so this is really cool!

I am back now But have been away at my married daughters
My teenage daughter Ashleigh has been in hospital with Glandular fever
I asked Ian (my partner) to send in my proof to DPC but he sent it to me on an email so even though I had the original the date was changed when he sent it to me
The site council has been very fair with me
But that is life

Thanks for all the nice comments I myself was really pleased with this image

Regards Sally
