Comment by Lustre:
The photo, whilst being quite nice, doesn't really tie in to the movie. I would have liked to see a more easily associated image, rather than trying to make an image fit the challenge.

Not quite sure on the significance, but would be a much better photo if more in focus (around the middle falls area). With the rain coming down on the water, had alot more "texture" to it

Super eye for commonplace objects. Great composition. Could use sharper focus.

You again? LOL Just kidding.
This is a nice shot. I'm not real fond of the background, however, I think that the colors go well with the flower.
I think you might have gotten a bit too close. The crop is touching the flower on 3 sides, but no on the left. I think that either making the crop touch the left side as well, or creating a bit of space on all the sides would be better. Just to keep it uniform.
The focus and clarity appears to be good. I like the little droplets. They do make for a nice visually appealing touch.
Definately Orange, and that makes it fit the challenge perfectly. I really do like the mixture of colors, but something about the background doesn't appeal to me other than the colors.
I also notice a strange yellow line that goes all the way around your flower, even through the orange blotches in the background. Was this created by the effect used? Seems strange, and upon looking at it, find it to be a bit of a distraction.
This appears to have good lighting. No really hot spots or distracting shadows or anything. Otherwise it's definately different, and it has a nice ring to it.

P.S. I just realized that I've tried something very similar a long time ago. Check it out, you'll get a good laugh. //www.photosig.com/go/photos/view?id=344326

Kind of an odd angle -- I presume that's a shoe atop the ball but it looks rather flatter than I'd expect. Colour choices are good, with matching intensities where the complementary colours meet.

This is absolutely cute. I guess the only thing I see that I would like to see differently would be the crop.
There is a bit of room to the left, but the right is cropped a bit tight, as is the bottom.
I think that the background works well here, no distracting elements. The colors are definately there, and in a natural environment too. I think that is why this appeals to me. It may be set up, however, it's still quite natural.
The focus and clarity are great. Detail in both his face and toys is really good.
Lighting seems to have been working with you this day as well. The color stands out nicely, and other than some shadow on his left eye (our right) the lighting adds much to this shot.
Good shot. ~Heather~

Don't see the relevance here. Nice shot though

A great concept, and technically I can point out no flaws; it's a wonderful picture of a prettily-lit tulip. I can say the background bothers me for no reason I can articulate, and that it doesn't seem particularly *exciting* (probably a composition thing), but it's definitely a pretty photo, skilfully taken. 8.
