wonderfully thought out. I would have liked it a little better if the foreground were focused, as opposed to the backfield, but nonetheless, a great shot...

Very original, and the motion blur seems appropriate. You might try adding either more contrast, or simply beefing up the yellow here. Nice work.

Nice to see you take a different approach to a standard rose shot. I think that for DPC this image may be more than the average voter can appreciate. For me, I like the gradient you've used. I do think that if the overall exposure of the rose had been better, you'd have achieved an even better result. You can see in the highlight areas of the petals that you have large 'flat' areas of color. These areas would prolly be overexposed areas that didn't take your color treatment well. The focus may be somewhat soft as well. Not sure if that was your intent, but it keeps the image from having a professional polish.

Overall I think this was a nice change of pace. A few tweaks and you'd have a very interesting print to hang on your wall.

I like it. But I think I'd prefer soft focus to motion blur.

Great lighting and detail here.
The blue reflective surfaces really draw the eye into the center.

Don't know how many people will know the divine Miss Baker, but you nailed the shot for those of us that know.

A skirt made out of banana peels? Not sure I like the use of blurr. Interesting concept.
