I usually hate flower pictures. I take some only for practice. But this is great!!! It is so beautiful. I can almost smell it. Photos of flowers taken this way really bring out the natural art of nature. This is probably the best floral picture I have seen on DPC.

This is a great picture. It is weird how the car is soooo rusted, yet the headlights are so clean.

I really like the texture of the leaf in this shot. The way this is cropped makes it interesting.

Natural Leader of Life

If the challenge was about "Life Lines" or "Lines that lead to Life" or the "Power piping sytem of nature", you would have nailed that theme. I think where you made a mistake when you changed the theme a little to meet your entry. The Challenge is Leading Lines. What you should have shot was an image where your eye is being lead in a direction by the subject in the photo. There are so many lines in the leaf, it just looks like a puzzle.

Your leaf is very interesting, almost looking like there is a light behind it because of the yellowish tint to the viens. The colors seem to be oversaturated, maybe this was your intent. I would have sharpened the image some to bring out the detail.

Overall, this is a great example of texture with bright vivid colors. IMO, not a good choice for the theme, thus your low score. What I have noticed here at DPC is that your image for a challenge needs to hit the theme DEAD ON. If a viewer has to read the title to undertand the relationship to the theme, it is not going to get good votes. The theme should just jump out at you when you look at it. Keep trying and Good Luck in future challenges.

I hope this was helpful.
