Im surprised at the low score here, I thought this would be a relatively dpc safe image. Personally I think the slinky shot was better, but this is a really terrific hi-key image.
Haven't read the comments below, but at a guess I'd say the issue was that people had trouble discerning seven petals. I gave this a 7 during voting, but at a second glance I'd probably bump that up one.
The good news is that this is my favorite entry in the challenge. The bad news is that I never pick the winner :( which is probably why I cannot produce a winner. However, I have picked 3rd place before. BOL anyway. Beautiful photograph.
Stunning photo! I love the softness and delicacy of it. I wish the petals stood out just a big more from the background. Otherwise its perfect! Nice composition. Another good pick for the ribbon. Good luck!
This is a tough on. With the calibration on my monitor, I lose most of the leaves on the flower. It's an amazing shot. I love the high key feel to it, and it's very, very well done. But it's not conveying the challenge topic. 6, because it's just an amazingly beautiful image. I can't wait to see a print of thise one.
Lovely abstract piece, it's like a painting. The petals are focused way too soft to discern whether there are 7 of them or not, so that's minus points for me. I still like this though!
beautiful shot, but maybe not quite enough defintition in the petals for this challenge. Kind of hard to pick out the 7 petals. Would make a nice poster though....
i like how soft this picture is, i think it adds to it greatly. However it is a lil hard to see the 7 actual pedals. maybe a lil more shading would have helped.
this shot appear all too wased out on my screen i can barily tell if there are 7 pettels its just too white almost to the poitn of painfull to the eyes its so bright.
