Poor flower - what did it do to deserve this?

lol actually it's a pretty cool (or hot) idea and i love how you captured the flame. The flame has a beautiful red glow. I am surprised this did not do better!

Darn! Where's a "Ground up" challenge when you need one! Ummmmmmmm. . . there is one going on now ya know ????? Perhaps a re-shoot for a kick-butt score ????

This is awesome! I love that angle and those blue blue skies as a backdrop!

Hot damn! I did beat you, didn't I? Believe me, I did not submit that floral image thinking I'd get a 5.1, but so it goes. And only one comment, no less. So I'm not clear on what the voters didn't like.

Love yours - it's very compelling with the dark green and the white flower against it.

I have nothing in challenges right now. Was so disgusted with my last two scores that I decided just to do sides for a while. I think it's called pouting. :o)

I really like the dark green of the background against the white of the flowers. Great dof as well. Still a very nice image, Jon.

Great effect created by the flames. Nice idea and a excellent composition as well.

Jon - I really thought this was much better than a 5.0. The sharpness was very good and the composition is solid. The background does not really add too much to the image and the lighting may have been a bit harsh on the flowers - a lot of detail is missing. All in all, though, I thought it deserved a better score and I gave it a 6.

Hey Jon, I obviously liked this much better than many of the voters.
