Originally posted by ursula: I think the colours are quite beautiful, and the shapes interesting, but for me (uh, oh) it's just not working. Even thought the petals have beautiful translucency, the light is a tad harsh. The focus is for the most part on the front edge of the front-most petal, but why? The ant is there, and that's good, to include an ant, but why is she here? I'm trying to explain why this image isn't working for me, to me it looks like a bunch of shapes and colours with no particular reason for being where they are (if that makes sense), and as a whole they do not speak to me. Ouch!! Sorry :)

Hey Ursula! It's ok, I can take it! Honestly! That's why I'm here so I can learn from others. :)

Thanks ~

Beautiful sense in this image, the grasses look like they're swaying in the wind. Love this.

Very nice! Love the DOF and the "wispy-ness" is just perfect...viva la roadside grasses and the brave photographers that stop to "capture" them!

Keep on clickin'! This is definitely worth stopping for--it's full of wind & sun & serendipity. Sometimes when I stop like that to get a shot, I can't recapture the magic I saw from the moving car. I admire that you have done it. WTG!
