GORGEOUS processing for what could have been a mundane shot. 9.

Interesting shot, I think. This is a parallel of that classic really poppy colour study - presumably, from your title, it would have bright punchy reds, yellows, greens, blues ... so, of course, to present it in B/W is intriguing. However (and there's always a however, isn't there?) ... I'm not sure whether it's the knowledge, the familiarity of that referred to image, or whether it's a genuine thing, but this seems to be lacking real texture, and is more of graphic image - but of course you've invited that comparison with the big colour shot ...

There is a strong sense of fragility on the petals though - that translucency. I'm not quite sure what to make of it at the moment.

Interesting but the lack of color is very disturbing. Perhaps a selective desaturation would have been the better choice. Because of the high contrast it also look a little blurry. Good luck and keep up the good work in 2005.

Lovely, I like it! Should have moved the ribbon/tape or whatever that thing is in the foreground next to the bench.

Great perspective and good overall composition. Bit of a distracting piece of paper/plastic over on the lower left. 7

Appealing composition, but the shadow severely diminishes the impact. I'd have scored it higher otherwise. Perhaps there's no time here with full, suitable light? 5.

Excellent angle and the shadow works well.

I don't usually care too much for flower pictures, but I love this one! The composition is perfect, and so is the fact that it's black and white which makes the white jump out at you with its striking contrast.
