I like the idea. It feels quaint although the shoelaces may actually distract a bit from the overall feel. Nice processing. 7

My pick for the yellow. Excellent contrast, and overall feel to the scene. Very intersting crop. Well done. 8

One of my favorites of the challenge. :) The paper-thin DOF and more subdued colors are great! While there are certainly a good number of dead flower shots in this challenge, this one rises above and beyond. Awesome shot!

you are absolutely right! there is no "me" in this shot at all. i shot strictly for the challenge which i rarely ever do. i put no emotion in this pic and it's way too cold and sterile for my tastes. wanted to help out my WPL team, though. :)

thank you for always noticing my work and for sharing your feelings about this shot. i promise...no more pics like this. :)
