Botanical Abstract

Not my favorite upon first glance. However, if you look at it for 15 seconds or so everything starts to move a little and get a bit blurry. Abstract indeed! I also like the fact that you've focused more on the basic outline of the plant, not color or texture or (insert fancy photography related word here). Ha....i dont know much about photography. I'm glad that I stopped to look at your shot for a couple of minutes. Now it's time to rest my eyes ;) 6

Star Light

Those reflections are awesome. I wish you could've gotten all of them in focus, but then again, that depth-of-field blurriness makes the flower just seem huge, and that's pretty cool.

Veins

I love leaf veins. Kind of the feel I was going for with my entry, but your contrast between the veins and the leaf is superb. It really brings out the amazing pattern. I wish the top-right corner was as crisp as the rest of the picture, but that truly is nit-picking. Nice shot.

What great detail. I almost wish the petals weren't in the picture. That part of the flower (no idea its real name) is just so cool looking and I feel you lose some of the outline of it in the top-left corner. Still, really nice and unconventional take on the "macro-flower."

Violet field

I really love the colors. Im partially color-blind and I'm finding I really like the blue/violet sort of color against the green. The small incidental details on the leaf on the bottom-right corner are framed nicely by the out of focus flowers in front of it. Very pretty.

Colored Trails

Smoke shots are the greatest. Ha! I see Don Quixote in profile facing right. The different colors in the smoke are really impressive. In fact, I think it's the different colors that are creating the face for me. Excellent shot.

Wow, that title makes this shot really creepy. The motion captures the sense of a mad dash very nicely.

That dude is so cool. I like how his feet (and even his profile) are suggesting movement.

The road-bumps makes the motion

Wow. What a great idea. What an excellent effect. They look like flowers, or dancers with large caricatured heads. I must now find cool road-bumps around my house :) Sounds like a good challenge, actually.

Good choice in not centering the focal point. I also really like the different colors (im partially color-blind, so contrasting colors kind of fascinate me).
