 I took this picture on my way to a town here in iceland called Selfoss. I thought it might fit the B&W challange. The plant might be little bit to far right.

This tells a story in its simplicity. I really like it alot. I think it was worthy of a higher placement for sure.

I really like this -- that said. I really wish there wasn't such a large frame around the photo. It takes away from the beauty you've worked so hard to capture.

It looks as though the flower head is slightly out of focus unfortunately. Apart from that, this is a beautiful shot.

I think the shallow DOF really did this shot justice. Well done, 8

The subject seems to be too close to the edge.. I like the border, it enhances the picture IMO

I would have like the flower in the for ground in focus.

I love the balance of simplisity and complexity. Simple subject on a backdrop that at first glance is a soft simple one, but leads ot intricate blades of grass as you continue to look at it. Adding this to my favorites because I think you've done a tremendous job with creativew composition.

what fantastic shot with the different textures and contrast between the flower and grass...quite a stunning shot but that gray border takes away from the texture in my opinion, just the simple black one would have drawn out your blacks in the picture more

I think I would like this more if 2 things were done differently. 1) You moved in closer to the dandelion?. 2) You used another border. This one is far too big. Besides that, I like this photo a lot. Great composition, dof.

I like the focusing. 10.

wow nice! i like the shapes and textures.. the added frame kind of turns me off, and would have enjoyed a crisper head on the flower thing, but over all bravo!

rétt stafsetning væri: typical ... (ef þú ert ekki viss, notaðu hvar.is til að finna orðabækur)
Flott mynd, ef toppurinn á hvönninni til hægri væri í 100 fókus fengir þú betri einkunn, en þetta lítur út fyrir að vera í roki.

Great shot, however the grey part of the border is distracting. I would leave with the simple black border.

I think you had a really great image here until you added the border :)
