The sun spots are a bit harsh in this othewise lovely picture. I don't think it is close up enough for a macro but lovely picture. 6

Comment by nam:
This wood is very nice but for me the shadows on the lily are much too dark.

Not enough contrast between flower and wood for this one to work for me. I do love the details captured in the wood.

I really like this. Some of my favorite Ansel Adams shots were his driftwood pics. (voted earlier)

I really like this. Great detail and sharpness on the wood grain and most of the flower. Maybe a slight falloff of sharpness on the edge of the image/flower. I think the lighting is elegant. I especially like the shadows, where you have retained the details. Very good conversion to b&w. Pretty good composition, too. 9

Au contraire! I'm sorry I missed this. It's quite a fun illusion when you get down to it. Regardless of the minute.

I really like the photo. The owl appears to be a little OOF, but the tree shows great detail.
