Jump Into the Fire

This flower looks far more impressive in the large size, with all the fine detail then it looks in the thumbnail. I am guessing when people looked at thumbnail first it predisposed them to a lower vote. It works very well as a centered picture, but some people also vote using the rule of thirds as an absolute. This is a picture where centering not only works well but moving it too the side I don't think would have given it nearly so dramatic an impact.

Purple Grace

I think if I had released earlier this was a water drop I would have marked it higher. I assumed it was glass that you could position the lighting just so to get this effect. I do agree these seems as much about gold as purple but nice for either color.

It is a great image, I hope your day at work gets better soon. (You can always look at the image and think how much worse it could be :-) )

I liked this so much I went and did a photography of parrots at the local zoo. Wonderful shot. Like out the leading lines seem to circle in towards the eye.

Congratz on the ribbon, this was one of my favorites as well. Maybe you should do a burning tutorial? I am sure others would appeciate learning from your skills in the area. It is just such a wonderful shot.
