Okay.. while I'm not a big fan of the Joke here, I'm really a sucker for a good pan. This constitutes a good pan. The green makes it a bit surreal too. Good job.

Outstanding color and clarity in this photo. Nice symmetry to boot. Perfectly framed. My only complaint is that the sky is stark white. Looks like it was trying to get blue on the edges, but unfortunately is mostly white. Great photo though - 9

Awesome! Very sharp and alive, in my opinion the best flower macro in the challenge.

Now thats a practical joke! Was this photoshop work at all? It looks so real, as if the fire department staged it for some event... Either way, very nicely done.

Hi there

I have just read how you went about achieving this particualr shot. Before I read through it though I took a long hard look at your image and my instant thoughts were that you obviously took a lot of time and effort in your brilliant outcome.

Overall the photo is just fabulous. What caught my immidate attention was the movement of the timer itself. You have managed to achieve a high standard in the fact that the movement is spot on. I really like the composition, crop and lighting techniques that you have shown.

Honestly though, I just can't see any flaws to recommend you do it any other way, except that it is an awesome photo. Very well executed and framed. Well done on a brilliant job.
