I usually breeze through flower pics but this one is so exceptional. A true artist you are.

Thus is a very nice image indeed. Well exposed, well composed, good use of DOF.
Too bad it does not portray the idea of recipe at all. Sorry.

I don't think this one meets the challenge, but it looks very good.

I gave this a 5. Definitely was more of a pattern shot than a shape shot in my opinion. The fact that the Shape Challenge followed the Pattern Challenge - didn't help a lot of people. Maybe, dependent on what you had to work with quality wise, a tighter crop/zoom in on a more distinct shape within the pattern somewhere may have helped this, not sure. As for your b&w v the color, my opinion is (especially after viewing the color), that, given the background in this shot and the amount of it, the color version works better (although the green a bit more vivid to boost the contrast would have helped in that in my opinion). Again though, a variation &/or tighter crop of this, would make the b&w more effective, in my opinion. edit to add:likely a 5 as well if you'd submitted the color version instead

This is a great pattern picture, but unfortunately, to my eye, there is so much pattern that you can't see the shape of the zebras.

This has a lot of potential, but is a bit dark. Adjusting the levels and contrast could help a lot.

There are a lot of flower shots time time around. Yours distinguishes itself with overall excellent composition and great DOF. The vignetting is very tastefully done! Bumping up.
