Rise Above

Beautiful. Like how the leaves border between the representational and the abstract. With this flower, being very formal and symmetric, i agree with your perfect flower theory. But not with all flowers! This image is tough to see though because of the green mat. If you're open to suggestions, you might play for the mat with something like a9a6aa, mauvish grey, or 888986, darker grey. (Yup, i looked at it in PS7 but then deleted the file as normally i do not steal other people's stuff). Q: why do you end up with such small file sizes; noticed that on the orange flower as well?

Loved the exposure, makes me want to run right out and buy a tripod!

On my monitor the highlights and lighter midtones look a little too bright for my taste...I think a little darker would add to the atmosphere and maybe bring out a little more detail in the rocks on the far side. Like the setting and composition a lot...

I thought that color was a major factor of this shot, but this duotone works really well for me.

One of my favourites this week. Good composition and the colors are perfect. So is focus and the cropping. Meets the challenge very well. Well done and good luck!

It's nice to see several pairings of complementary colours in this: the focal point, of course, with the light against the water, but also the orangey tone to the lights around the fountain, the yellow-and-blue sky, and the yellow-lit building against the sky. Plus it's a nice twilight shot of a fountain.
