Watercolor Iris

This is very cool. I can see this being the front of a stationary type card. I think your style shines best in your floral shots, IMO. I think playing with the different effects is fun, and this effect suits this shot very well.

Really like this close up. I'm not always a fan of the water droplets on a bloom, but it does add something to this one. Nice cropping and focus.

Seaside Reflections

Comment by jpochard:
This is an interesting shot, but I'm not sure I care for the reflection. It appears just mostly white out, nothing of particular interest to reflect. I do, however, like the rest of the composition because of the colors and textures. I keep wanting to see more of the lower half. Nice colors and richness to all your shots. You do a good job of exposure and editing.

Great contrast. I love architectural shots when done with lots of variation of tone and light. Good job.

I stand by my 10 vote. Thought it was excellent on all levels. The dark red, the dark background. The overall richness of tone is great.

Nice shot, but not much darkness going on here.

My Favorite Place

Comment by bucket:
your affection for the place clearly comes through in this shot..I imagine it is a place filled with childhood memories, softened with time. is it the same as the Poverty challenge..really I think that shot would stick with me more, the b & w hits me harder...this one the softness makes it someone else's...yet I could see it as a book cover for a romantic novel..oh yah I'm a guy, so hey great job despite my wandering thoughts.
And ..think it would make an interesting rainy day shot as well

the colours are great and vibrant here and the fisheye lens makes me feel like i can just reach out and touch the sand and water from here(kentucky) i personally might would try to burn the sand some to off set the bright sun there..another excellent photo
