Station guy in color

I prefer the one in colour,I think the colour brings more life to a pretty empty station. I love the expression on the guy.

Lovely. I'd have liked a closer crop (especially at the right) but that's probably the macro fiend in me ;-) Good luck.

Great colors and focus. This is a really, really nice shot! It reminds me of a fallopian tube. (Which you would have probably rathered me not share)

I didn't get this one coming around in my voting. I would have likely given it a 5. I've been considering this one on and off this morning, so I could try and give you some useful input. It leads the eye, but I'm not sure what it leads it to. There are numerous small subjects in the image, none of which really stand out and grab attention, but are also in front of the pattern. Perhaps a more abstract or closer in view would have scored higher. I personally tend to like images that show texture. This is one of those images that I have a hard time commenting on as it doesn't out stand out to me in either a positive or negative way.

Edited to add:
I just looked over your own notes and it appears you nailed it already yourself. I can sometimes do that on my images, knowing beforehand what the comments and low votes will be for. This challenge took me for a surprise though.

Deb - wonderful shot !! I really like the 'aged' look about the photo balanced with the delicacy of the flower.

And I also use the self timer for my Flower shots on the Macro lens - it gives much better results than trying to hold the camera (maybe it's just an age thing :- ))

this is one amazing picture. the dof is perfect, the spoon with the pattern, the composition - all absolutely perfect. i can't imagine anyone giving this a 1/2, that's bizarre!

i loved this picture. while the patterns didn't stick out for me to begin with (though i did see them on more scrutiny), i thought the picture was fantastic. the trees, the pavement, the people walking, the black-and-white-ness of it, all fit really well.

interestingly, my mom (who's on dpc as well) considered your photo her favorite [over mine :(] :).

What an excellent photo, the perfect touch of color. Great detail in the flower and I love the overlay technique that you used. Simply beautiful.
