The soft colors is really what makes this shot so beautiful for me.

This has amazing ambience and is beautifully focused despite the softness. Superb lighting and tones too. Great work.

I can't believe this wasn't in the top five at least. It's absolutely stunning. Nice shot for 400 iso, too.

This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. The soft, suble coloring is exquisite. Composition is magnificent. Soft focus on the back side of the lily is perfect. The only photo I have made a part of my Favorites. Beautifully done!!!! Bitz

I like the soft focus of this-- it matches the subject and the color scheme.

You have really captured the beauty of this flower. I love the softness of the shot, it makes it very 'springy'. Nicely done. -danny

Ooooh. The one bold swirl and soft lighting (perfect exposure) set this apart from other plant images I've seen. The lines in the background are also very well done (noticable without being distracting). This is a 10 in my book.

I don't really like the ghosty effects on this pic. I'm not sure how they were created but I'm putting my money on some kind of light source. I think the framing would've been better moving the subject a little more to the right.
03/31/2003 03:07:06 AM
I want to see more of the flower - I think that would give it more impact. Nice colours.
