Sunset Flowers

Hey Pitsaman -- While these purple beauties may be techincally flowers, they are the biggest nightmare of this country -- and several others -- Australia comes to mind.

This flower which here is a called a weed originated from Europe. It is called Purple Loosestrife and it costs this country billions upon billions of dollars. It clogs drainage pipes and waterways in no time. It is highly invasive, and one flower can produce over 1 million seeds. In this country, this plant has no pests or diseases to kill or eradicate it to keep it under control.

Probably way more information than you wanted to know... sorry!

That aside, lovely photo!

I can't believe this ranked where it did! I rated it a 10. I am sorry it came in 58th. It was in my top 5.

I keep bantering on where you place this 9 or 10. On third review, you've got a 10 -- for sure now.

I love this photo. It's very creative, well executed and exceptional in representing the past. What a creative mind you have!

Upon first vote, I somehow cast you as an 8 -- but on second review (thankfully!)-- this is a solid 10. I don't know what I was thinking!! This is exceptional and definitely one of my favorites for this challenge. Way to go!

The angle of this shot doesn't peek my interest. Maybe try a different angle if you go back. There is definitely some things to capture here... Don't give up...

As someone who doesn't know sports, I don't see anything old about this... Forgive me.

Grandma's Vases

Comment:
This photo is a little too dark because you can't clearly see the larger vase. I also find the focus is too soft -- at least for my tastes...

Your idea was great , but I find the grain in the wood distracting. It takes away from the beauty of this piece. Furthermore, why did you cut off the top part of it? To make it more interesting, you should have made a section of it center-focused...
