I'm glad this showed up on the front page, because it reminded me to have another look at it. I was on vacation and viewed it on my brother-in-law's monitor where I could clearly see the tabletop that the flower is resting on. Now that I'm home, and on my own calibrated monitor, the tabletop is solid black like it should be, and it looks wonderful!
How are monitors still being shipped uncalibrated? Rawr!
I have a hard time saying, great shot, partially because I'm sure you know that already. You could possibly win this thing with this shot, I'm really not sure. It is one of my top choices. It is executed flawlessly, but there is something about its composition that throws me off, and I'm not sure what it is. I'd really like to see what a red back drop would of looked like, or maybe blue. It may just be that I have seen several similar shots over the years, but I would never subtract points for that, just simply because of the ever revolving door of talent. The dramatic feel is present, and the execution looks good, the simplicity part is met, whatever it is that is throwing me off eludes me, so I'm bumping it up to my top 5. Great job, good luck.
