too much "brightness" in this one. You could have just leave the image in it's actual colours instead of making it greenish. I personally find a pure black background for this image would be even better to look at. 6

Great picture idea! I don't know if you did this on purpose or not, but it looks a little washed out to me. Maybe too much brightness effect?

There are a couple things I see here that bother me slightly. They are very small things, and are really not a huge deal, but when put all together into one image, kind of make for a slight distraction.
First, There is a stem going straight through the image to the left of center. It kind of seperates the image, not making it flow together quite as smoothly as I think it should.
Also, as mentioned before, the tree in the background would look much much better had it been some blue sky. (although the sky doesn't really look very blue from what I can see of it)
Another nit pick is the distribution of yellow flowers among the mostly red flowers. There are a few bunched up in the upper left corner. The lighting is a bit bright up there, and I feel that my attention is drawn to the upper left corner by both the group of yellow flowers and by the bright light.
On the plus side, I think that the perspective really makes this photo great. It's a different take on a subject we've seen many many times, and that makes this one stand out of the crowd so to speak.
Your focus and clarity are really good, and the framing/cropping is good as well. I like how the subject fills the entire photo (minus the part with the tree in the background I mentioned).
A really nice shot. We have a tulip festival here in Michigan, and with a few minor adjustments I could see this in an advertising brochure. ~Heather~

I like the composition you make depth with the mirror. The post process makes the hand looks neither unnatural nor real. I think it should be one or another.

In your attempt to add the green tint, you've washed the shot out a little - perhaps it's overdone a bit.

Good idea though - I definitely see where you're coming from.

You managed to incorporate all the complementary groups! I must say, the Queen looks so young. Nice how you got such a black background, that's difficult. Good job.

[purple to green] hey! where's orange and who's that guy?!?!?

The angle of this picture makes the subject interesting.

meets the challenge but doesn't interest me that much. A very literal and lifeless composition
