wow! thanks so much!

Originally posted by loseme: *Critique Club* "Calla" is one of the strongest flowers entered into the Square Crop challenge. Also excellent placement in the large challenge, top 6% is really great. The clarity and DOF is absolutely amazing. The focus on the stigma (I think that is what its called) is virtually prefect. It is amazing how close you can get with a lens. I love the composition. The background is so deep and gives such a great contrast. I really don't see anything I would change this is an absolutely amazing piece and so glad that you chose to enter it into this challenge. This image is so clear it almost looks unreal. Great work on this piece. Keep up the work.

I'd almost like to see a live person in this shot as well.

So sad. I loved this book as a child and only now, in hindsight, do I realize how crushingly depressing it is. The photograph is well done.

I was just looking through the highest rated shots for the Oly C-8080 and saw this shot. Very well done! Beautiful! I bet you're happy with this camera! I love the macro mode. I don't have a macro lens for my dSLR so I use my Oly for macro shots. It's a great little camera.

I thought this was sort of afterlife-like until I read the picture frame saying "I lvoe you" and "be mine."
