I think the subject of this photo is a person rather than the plant and so I have a hard time seeing this meet the spirit of the challenge, but there is some flora included, so I won't comment with DNMC. I think I'd like this better if the man weren't looking right into the camera, as I feel like the girl is the subject but his eyes take away from her beauty. A shallower DOF would fix this or a different expression/pose. I like that the color of the flower matches the dress so well.

This is a wonderful image - the soft yet detailed imagery is very interesting, but I'm not sure it fits within the scope of the challenge. Benefit of the doubt on this one to the author - well done.

The Double Image (poem by Anne Sexton) - or is it a secondary image? Not an abstract, but it is abstract. This is terrificly wierd and ghoulish - a double-image prism of sorts.

I like the color in this one. I'm sort of puzzled about how you captured this.
