Firstly, I think that this is a great shot, many people obviously liked it but felt that it didn't meet the challenge, I would have to agree here. Composition is good, I like the cornered composition, I would agree that having the end of the bottom stamen would have been good. Sharpness is good, showing the texture of the petals very well and the shallow DOF helps the flower stand out well.
This is a great shot and in the appropraite challenge I think it would have done much better. Good Luck in the next challenge.
Very pretty picture. Is that a patch of sky above the fully displayed petal? That was sarcastic, sorry, but this picture is all about the flower. I know it takes weather to grow a flower, but it takes dirt, water, seeds and a whole lots of other things, too. While this is an exceptionally pretty picture, I can't give the higher end score due to the challenge. Very nice texture and detail. 5 Rob the Swash
This is a great photo.. but where is the weather in it? Perhaps I'm being a little too literal, but I don't believe it effectively meets the challenge. This could have been a studio shot, theres no way to tell if it was even taken outside (in weather) I'm willing to bet you would have got very high marks in the next challenge.
At first I didn't think this picture met the challenge. Then I saw the orange center, which resembles the sun, in a layer of white (clouds...). Perhaps I have a little too much imagination :p.
nice composition and i love the textures...very neat...simplicity works excellent here..and i love the image with a background...i really dont why other photographers didnt like the image with border. good luck.
