I think I'm a complete idiot here...I think this is a photo taken while riding on one of those tire swings that is connected horisontally by a set of 3 chains. I'm not really sure why it looks like we are looking through glass there in the distance, but I think it could be motion blur? I am sure this has a lot more meaning to you, as you were there, but as for me, I'm stumped. I really apologize, I will keep looking, and recomment again by the end of the week. Good luck in the challenge.

You know, at first, the rose looked like it was cut and pasted onto the background. The strange outline on the top of the bud made me think this. However, As I was trying to shoot a photo for the pencil challenge, I came upon the same strange black outline in one of my photos that I had taken too close to the computer screen. I definately get the newness in the photo and it is a beautiful rose. Looks like you played with the colors a bit. The red looks unnaturally too red, however, the same thing creating the mystery black outline may be causing the redness to also be off. I like the angle and closeness of the rose and I like how it's lit and the background is far off. Nice photo, good luck in the challenge.

Too many "flower" shots in this challenge, but there are some good ones. I like the detail and focus on the rosebud, and the colors are great, but the blurry background is distracting... to me anyway. I would have dropped it closer I guess.

i love the shape of the rose with those leaves pointing up and down in opposite directions. i would like to see more texture in the red of the rose. -- gr8photos (7)

I love the high contrast in this. The colours are beautiful and vibrant. There's something about the composition that makes this rose seem as though it just "sproinged" out of the ground like that plant in the BC comics :). It has a kind of joyous look to it.
