Oh my... too many letters. ;-) I hope it doesn't bring you many DNMC. Whether is does or doesn't, it is a great image.

Tallying Up Views

I expect the tally is high for this shot. Sensual model, sultry pose, nice lighting, great contrast between the skin/hair and the background etc. I like the light halo on the bricks.

MAGNOLIA "NIMBUS" OBAVATA
by zeuszen

Comment:
I had to look it up:

"80073 Magnolia obovata — (-10°F, USDA Zones 6-10) This species is native of the Kuril Islands of Russia and the Islands of Japan. This tree blooms at or shortly after 10 years of age and will eventually reach 60’x50' or larger; specimens in the forests of Japan measure 100'. The leaves on this are impressively large, 18'’ long and nearly half as wide. The flowers are 8'’ across with creamy white tepals, the outside tepals are pink and shows a great contrast as the flower opens."

Not nearly as beautiful as your description.

Nature's Odd Painting

What can I say that won't already have been said. Absolutely beautiful shot. I am not sure I understand the top and bottom stripes... Are they part of the image or an artifact of limits on aspect ratio here in the site.

Some day I am going to have to learn how to take shots like this. Great color, held focus for all the flowers and stems. The black background really sets off the well saturated colors.

Real Stainless Timepiece

Beautiful shot. Lighting on such things is very difficult. You nailed it. I don't think I have ever seen stainless that color.

Or Barely Closed Door. :-)

Great shot. Did you have a hard time deciding between this challenge and the bicycle challenge for this image.

Nice color balance and exposure. I like the streaks in the sky. All in all, very good shot.
