Nature's Gold

Comment by bspurgeon:
Interesting interpretation of the challenge, I don't think it will go over well due to the lack of an element, but I appreciate your thinking beyond the challenge description. Certainly nature is full of gold!!!

Unfortunately, I feel the composition is lacking a focal point to support your intended subject in my opinion. I'm not crazy about the use of the reflective surface as it resulted in significant ghosting (at least I think that's what happened, I suppose it could be movement and it's just blurry).

I think it may have been interesting to have the flower facing the sun. Your "gold" would have been more prominent rather than in a harsh shadow.

Sorry for the rough cc. 4 Ben

The glow on the edges is nice, I like the image but at the same time it all sort of fades to red on me.....mixed emotions on this one.

My first impression is that it was dark. It doesn't look like photography, more like a graphic design. This looks pretty difficult to achieve photographically. I'm guessing its paper with some special lighting to make it glow. Its intriguing.

I like this, but I can't really put my finger on why. Feels a little overcropped, though. Nice colors.
