Some Flowers Bloom no more

I like this shot. I think it definately says 'desolation'. It's dark and gloomy, the man looks lonely and down and out, and even the flowers are past their prime. Well done!

I think this one suffered from being in a challenge with LOTS of flower shots. The background is a little dark, and the flower maybe not quite as clear and crisp as it could be. Otherwise, this is a nice image.

this is beautiful. I like the slight color in the water... just a hint without overwhelming the picture.

Wow... what a great shot! Love the feeling of a 'story' happening. Makes me wonder what they are whispering and giggling about.

Great use of color and light in this. And the person (Rebecca I assume) in the red hat really makes the picture. Nice job!

This is a beautiful shot! I love the combination of the green forground and the purples and blues of the mountains and sky. Nice work!

And You're So Far Away From Me

Another that should have scored highter (imho). I love the colors in this, and the concept of being far away is interesting, and I think the moon adds a necessary compositional feature, so that it isn't just a 'boring' mountain top. It gives the image some interest, and the viewer something to think about, in connection with the title. The mountain top is definately desolate looking. Nice job!
I'm looking forward to seeing your flower entry!

I like this! Nice compostion, definately sitting by the pool for a pedicure would rate as an indulgence in my book! I love the reflections of the clouds in the water. The only 'off' thing is that your ankle looks a little distorted, or soft or something. Great shot, though! I agree... should have scored higher.

The colors are nice in this, but it lacks a focal point.
