Neat. Not a topic I would have ever thought of, myself, but it works very well in the tone it's in, seems perfectly natural to see it in that colour, except for the very distracting Pepsi cans in the background. If it weren't for the modern design on those it would have come across well as an old photograph, which is how the rest of it feels.

Sweeet shot! I like that the arc area is blown out...it should be. It casts great light to the rest of the subject. Great DOF/focus. good job

hey there from the CC Club! :)
OOh pretty themed image of the new flowers ... the colors are awesome - especially with the overcasted sky you spoke of. This is one of the fewer 2 photo images ... i think it woulda been a little stronger if maybe you took the white flowers and put another image on the other side of the purple to make it 3 ... just my opinion ... the detail on the flower petals are very nice and the DOF works well i think. great job overall :) - keep it up :)

Sorry Refracted.. not sure exactly what to say about this shot! I think it's simply stunning. The lighting is a bit harsh in places but I don't think it detracts at all - more like enhances the petels and makes them look silky. I absolutely love the composition. Great great stuff.

Good job and I can't wait to see your entries with the F717!

These little flowers are sure fun when they pop out of the ground so early, aren't they! Focus is great, though both shots, but especially the left could use just a little more contrast in the petals, I feel. The frames work well together. Nice, soft lighting.
