Do not bring these for your prom date's corsage.

This is an extremely strange shot. I really want to know what this is. The lighting is a bit harsh, and it is just kinda gross. It is interesting though.

I don't get a very clear idea of what I am looking. In fact, slightly grossed out.

this has got to be the ugliest flower i have ever seen in my life!!! why would you enter this in a challenge?!? just kidding ;-)

the lighting is a tad strong, but that can be dealt with in post-processing. this has an interesting range of colors, even if the subject matter might not be that appealling to the mainstream viewer. good luck, and just remember: this is only one challenge!

The light here is a bit harsh, and the subject is somewhat unappealing- it looks like someone sneezed on it.

The color is good. The ice looks like jelly possibly due to the lighting. It is difficult to say what it is you are trying to capture.

Man quite an ugly flower eh :D

After your PM, here is a critique.

People will look at this and say it's ugly, because, well it is an ugly plant. Nothing wrong with that, and you have done nothing wrong by shooting it. But with over 500 images just in this challenge to critique and comment on, that is the first thing people will say when they see it.

The same way that on baby shots people will say 'cute'.

As for the photo, it's technically OK, well exposed in most areas - is a little soft to be honest but that is only minimal.

Composition isn't great, just a plan near center. I think had you gotten closer to the messy parts (sap?) you may score better as this could hold some detail. Or you could have shot it from below to give it a little sens of drama.

the background is too undecided and the leaves are distracting in their pattern of light and shade ; more blur would have been more effective - this messy-looking flower on simple black would have been stunning

This is not quite working for me. It seems like your focus is fractionally off. Plus that flower is really pretty unnattractive - but not quite wacky enough to overcome that unattractiveness. Best of luck in 2005.

interesting textures

Interesting shot with good colours. Title could be more descriptive.
