 "e", one of the most natural numbers of all, along with phi and pi. fortunately this one is in the english alphabet.

this is a tendril of a snow pea plant in my back yard, taken with three stacked macro rings, total magnification +7.

I'm amazed this one didn't do better... (avg. commenters scored this with 8.0) even with the typo in the title, it was pretty obvious what was the letter in question, and it was well executed.
I just hope you did not get 23 scores <=3 because of the title. But you never know with DPC voting.


doubt that was the reason, although it is quite a funny mistake to have.

Obscure reference. I Googled it and the first listing only had 274 hits since 1998! You get extra points from me

Phi...The wonder ratio of nature, brought to focus beautifully here with incredible colors and clarity. A real wonder in this challenge. Best of luck. 10

wow great color this one caught my eye even as a thumb nail. Simple yet, elegant, nice curves and enjoyable to look at. Fits the challenge perfectly and is in nice crisp focus.. should do pretty good. I like it

One of my top 5 picks - wouldn't be surprised to see this ribbon. Aches with beauty and grace. Fantastic DOF and color.

very nice, but a little *too* oversaturated for my tastes. Seems a little over-sharpened as well. I'll give a 7, but know that it could have been more.

nice

e-1...Like it. =8 in this equation.

my guess is a lot of people aren't going to understand your 'e' title. (7)

I don't know was 1.71828 is... is it related to pi in some way? In any case, it's a nice picture. I need to gaet a lens I can do macro with.

how come i understand this title? 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The title confuses me (they told me there would be no math) - I'll assume it's a "J" or a cursive "T" and a very well taken photo. Good job. ...except for the title.
