I never really liked Gerbera because my grandma used to have them everywhere. Looks so cool here though!

Small nit - I'm assuming the stalk of the flower was put through the spaces in the blinds and that is why there is a black (would have been white) gap between two sections in lower third on right...
Honest comment - as soon as I saw this the lines really complement the soft rounded edges of the flower - well done. Good sharp shot and hope it does well!

This really stands out. Jumps out from the thumbnail and when blown up it's just a really strong image. Colors are wonderful, and I like the organic contrast with the inorganic symmetry. That said, I wish the blinds(?) were perfectly parallel and there wasn't a bulge where the stem is sticking through them. That's a guess of course, as all these negative shots have me guessing as to what's really going on. I'm not voting, just observing.

Stunning. And not just a pretty flower shot. The lines add a bold and beautiful graphic quality, and create a structured counterpoint to the rather chaotic beauty of the gerbera (my favorite flower!!). Stunning. Front page.

This frog has pretty good camo. He blends right in with the pavement, all bumpy and flat, just like the road.

The low F stop adds to the image.
