No, but many a fleur has an appealing bouquet. |
I feel like a pun this ridiculous can't do any longer without being quoted.
applause, good sir. :)
I feel like the flower bashing has gotten out of hand... haha. I was just commenting on the how overwhelming it was to judge between so many different floral photos. I think the majority of the rational people here could agree with me when I say that there really are some great shots of flowers and no reason at all to generalize here.
There. Argument solved.
p.s. 3 days... 60% ::sighs::
edit: p.p.s. after this challenge I hope I don't see the word "bokeh" for a very long time... :p

Flower bashing?
We should think why people like to take flower pictures more than anything else... Same for nudes, or good looking woman... or good looking anything that matter.
Well, they look good... and they don't move a lot so we can adjust our angels, lights etc. etc.
It is very difficult to make something good looking and meaningful in our photos if they aren't looking good at first place, and keep moving around... and hard to spot.
Also, I have seen many flower pictures in DPC, never got sick of them, and still give nice voting points to those look like would jump out from my screen... sharp, good contrast, excellent colors... No reason to hate any of them... it's like hating nude pictures... we all know what naked woman (or man) looks like (I hope) so why bother to look at 500 of them ?
Hmmm?

I have to agree on the flower thing. As a matter of fact, I have rated a flower as being the Blue Ribbon Winner. The challenge was bokeh, not the subject. Please let this die..... |

I have finally done it. I was amazed at the range of images in this challenge. I heard many complaints about the amount of floral images. Yes there were. But I didn't tire of them which surprised me. There were many bees and many beautiful romantic images.
I found many images that seemed to be similiar, hinting to me that maybe they were taken by partners in crime. I find that great to see people enjoying this craft together.
I gained a few favourites out of this challenge and was pleased with the quality of the challenge in general.
You have rated 429 of 430 images (100%) in this challenge.
