I really dug the grainy look...especially in contrast to the solid black at the bottom. Definitely think you should have placed higher.

Great use of contrasting colors to make your flowers pop out. I like your use of DOF here... Unfotunately the photo looks rather centered to me... I would have made this a vertical pic... which would also have gotten rid of the distracting white (flower?) thing in the right hand corner. Watch where the lighting is falling...

Beautiful flowers, clever lighting and colour! Spoiled by the white out of focus object on the right. Crop a third of each side and you have a specatular photo!

The background is very colorful... compliments the blue flowers.

Congrats on a really great image. Now i can't wait to see your G3 productions :) I can't understand that you got some criticism on the grain; it was so necessary here. And i for one liked that there was so little silhouette; it just underscored the drama.

Wow! Great catch, and I like what you did with the different shades of blue here. Very nicely done.

Very nice shot; great color and tonal range. Grain is a bit heavy, in my opinion, though.

Too grainy but good interpretation.

Very noisy in the clouds ... I like it. Adds atmosphere to the shot if you'll pardon the pun. Great work, well done.
