This is gorgeous! It works so well as a black and white! You have great detail throughout! And the lighting is wonderful! Great job!

interesting shot - since it's a repeating patter - i might try getting in closer to get more of the petals textures, and maybe un-busy it a tad - the toning is good

good luck

Neat, well done image. I personally like the distribution of weight added by the tilt - although it doesn't make it stand out special - and I fear the punters won't get it at all. Something to do with the sense of vertigo one can get from looking up at things like this. Nice stuff, but lacking in an element of delight - perhaps that light is just a touch too ordinary. 6

An excellent specimen - well rendered. I'd crop quite a bit from the bottom so the the edge is just below the small whitest leaf. To me, that's a much stronger composition. As is - it's still an excellent submission.

Comment by Dr.Confuser:
Exceptional focus. Contrast and levels are terrific. The black area to the left detracts from a top 10 entry IMO. I am wondering what a full color image would have looked like. Usually desaturating beautifully colored flowers feels wrong to me, but in this case, I think it increased the drama of the picture. Good job.

nice clean lines, and lovely blue sky, but doesn't really capture the idea of vanishing point

First thing I thought of was what in the world did she step in? Not a pleasant way to be greeted by an image and I'm certainly not thinking of romance anymore after seeing this image.

Good concept, good photos, vaguely distracted by the girl's dirty feet... I know, it's normal, but I think for a dreamy shot like that, she should have cleaner feet. =)

The classic smooch well captured. Bumping from 5 to 6.
