What a lovely edit, Deb!! Daisies are the best. Each petal... so wonderful.

I agree with citymars. I go out to our Botanical Garden to try to get photos looking up into those great big greenhouses, and I never get the light "under control". It always look way overblown, and the structure's silhouette doesn't look clean and defined like this -- just black and under lit :( This is a fabulous abstract.

How absolutely beautiful, Deb. Great overlay work - compliments the flower perfectly.

If you haven't learned anything at DPC then you must have been great when you got here. Just one example is what you did in the desert. The portfolio from that "trip" is the result of a photographer being in the desert, not just a soldier with a camera.

Your analysis sounded far-fetched when I read it, but when I actually look at the picture it makes sense. I think it's the grid on the sidewalk: it looks like this photo was drawn on graph paper... an engineer's draftwork... to study this notion of patterns in the universe.

Comment by citymars:
The light is under control, and the composition is simply terrific. Good job!

Patterns, patterns, everywhere! I think the voting pattern of the commenters more closely resembles what the score should be. This is a beautiful picture with much to interest the viewer. I learned at your feet, lol, I guess that's what's wrong with my scores. I adore your style (and your wit, to wit isn't bad either). I think you are reaching people though, 30 votes of 7 or more and zero 1's.

There is so much going on in this photo, that I don't even want to start commenting on it. I will only want to say that I colud look for hours, to all those little details and still find smth new.
Keep shooting this kind of pics Deb, I really do like them. Who cares if DPC do not appreciate them as they should, they are great!

Most underrated in the challenge. just look at all those patterns: four different in the pavements; the borders of the pavement; the zebra crossing; the parasols; the steps; imagine the row of trees continued endlessly right from the image...
