This one is strange on the oposite end of the spectrum (the 9's and 10's). How could anyone give a 9, much less a 10 on this shot when it's a plant and not an animal? LOL, it's probably the same people who gave the winning pictures 1's and 2's. :)

Nice plant shot however.

this is suppose to be of animals not flowers
04/29/2003 01:56:52 PM
Fauna is a group of animals isn't it?
04/29/2003 01:30:51 PM
nice pic, but wrong challenge. 4, if it was the flora challenge would have got 7
04/28/2003 10:41:48 PM
Even with no animal (fauna) in sight, it's a good photography. With my patented scoring system, a better than average composition and execution gets a five. Would have been an eight with a bug.
04/28/2003 05:19:34 PM
No fauna here! Very nice photo! Lovely tulips. Very nice color and focus. Challenge - missed it entirely. 5 Rob the Swash
04/28/2003 02:44:42 PM
not necessarily animals but i like it good change of pace from everyone else
04/28/2003 05:44:46 AM
wrong challenge, otherwise great pic!!
04/28/2003 12:17:34 AM
A fantastic picture, but you've got the wrong category. Still, very well done :)
04/27/2003 11:08:37 PM
what beautiful colors and presentation. too bad this made it into the fauna challenge. :0(
04/27/2003 11:00:37 PM
These are gorgeous but did you get flora and fauna mixed up?
04/27/2003 09:10:10 PM
Excellent flora picture, but it's in the wrong challenge (i'm sure you've heard this a zillion times already)! Sorry!
04/27/2003 02:23:26 PM
A beautiful photo, but the wrong category I think? Most likely I am not the first to say it. If this had been a Flora entry, I would have given it a 10, but since the topic is fauna, well, I'm afraid it doesn't fit.
04/27/2003 09:19:42 AM
Looks like the wrong challenge...... Every time I've said that before, It always turned out that they entered the right one. Not a bad pic though.
04/27/2003 02:03:45 AM
wasn't it supposed to be in the other challenge? :-)
04/26/2003 07:30:46 PM
Lovely - BUT they aren't fauna.
04/26/2003 02:47:06 PM
so what? I like it better than most of the fauna anyways - 8
04/26/2003 11:45:28 AM
pretty tulips, but sadly, I think you might have gotten the wrong challenge...?
04/26/2003 04:25:15 AM
lol, i knew there would be at least one. I will pretend this is the flora challenge and this is a good 8. Great shot.
04/26/2003 03:04:10 AM
Nice photo, but it doesn't seem to fit the category.
04/26/2003 12:42:08 AM
Extremely beautiful shot. I love your DOF on this and your composition is exellent using the flowers colors as the background. Oh, I bet your hearing it from people about the challenge theme being wrong. I do think this shot is very beautiful and much better than the Easter Tulip shot I did for the flora challenge. I also like how your main focused flowers aren't smack dab in the middle.
04/25/2003 09:44:22 PM
Wrong challenge. Superb photo.
04/25/2003 09:43:59 PM
This is a fantastic photo, however I think you got flora mixed up with fauna.
04/25/2003 04:16:53 PM
is this in the wrong challenge? - it's beatiful anyway.
04/25/2003 01:55:54 PM
Good job, i like the photo.
04/25/2003 12:52:41 PM
oops. wrong challenge?
04/25/2003 12:47:05 AM
Where's the fauna
04/24/2003 08:07:42 PM
beautiful flower and perfect for the FLORA challenge (only reason I give lower score), this challenge is FAUNA
04/24/2003 07:44:25 PM
wonderful flora....shame it´s in the wrong challenge
04/24/2003 07:19:34 PM
This is a beautiful picture of tulips, however, I have a feeling that you submitted to the wrong challenge. I don't see any animals here. However, dispite that, this photo is well done. DOF is fully on the two whole flowers in the picture with the most color and that is nice. I think that it might be just a little dark. Perhaps an adjustment to brightness/contrast would bring out the colors even more and make them more brilliant. Unfortunately, this photo is not going to do as well as it should since it doesn't meet the challenge, but I give you credit for the great shot.
04/24/2003 05:49:34 PM
Nice Picture! But wrong challenge!
04/24/2003 05:09:42 PM
Add some fauna and you have got a winner on your hands.
04/24/2003 03:25:44 PM
did you really mean to submit this to the flora challenge? but it is a nice picture
04/24/2003 03:19:36 PM
A beautifull picture, but had to deduct points for being in the wrong challenge - sorry.
04/24/2003 02:29:39 PM
where is the fauna?
04/24/2003 01:40:31 PM
oops. ;-) Very nice flower shot though
04/24/2003 12:53:31 PM
Tulips != fauna. Nice photo, but are you sure you submitted it to the right challenge?
04/24/2003 10:38:08 AM
Wow, beautiful picture! I think it's in the wrong challenge though.
04/24/2003 06:53:16 AM
Wrong challenge...? Fauna = animals.

Having said that it's a lovely photo - pity I can't give it a mark to match...
04/24/2003 04:23:03 AM
dont you hate it when you mistakingly enter it in the wrong one...great shot though
04/23/2003 09:56:57 PM
Fauna? I don't see any Fauna here. Otherwise a great flora photo.
04/23/2003 09:31:45 PM
this is FLORE not Fauna??? The photo is nice, but is not following the rules?
04/23/2003 08:45:26 PM
I hate to mark this down b/c it is a very well done image, but this is the Fauna challenge, not flora. Tulips are not animals scientifically or otherwise. (I've looked all through the image to find an animal, if I am missing it, PM me and I will make the appropriate score adjustment)
04/23/2003 07:11:35 PM
wrong challenge
04/23/2003 05:20:44 PM
Don't see any fauna in here, but sure is a nice flora image. I would have cropped out the oof tulip on the right hand side. Lovely coloring.
04/23/2003 04:49:12 PM
Wrong challenge? Beautiful shot though.
04/23/2003 03:44:47 PM
uh, did I miss the animal here?
04/23/2003 02:35:20 PM
Flora comment:
Nice composition and use of wide aperture. I like the light blur of the foreground tulip to move the eye into the shot, the hard blur of the background stops it at the point of the main point of focus, the two middle tulips.
Good angle, great colors.
04/23/2003 02:24:19 PM
well I got mixed up on a contest also-no animal but a good image
04/23/2003 01:42:46 PM
Perhaps for the flora challenge???? Don't see any fauna here.
04/23/2003 01:09:14 PM
Beautiful shot... I love the color and tone here. Wrong challenge, though?
04/23/2003 01:05:03 PM
Nice macro and colour. Too many similar subjects created alot of clutter and difficult to make any individual flower to stand-out. The forum will be the best place for you to present your photo for comments.
04/23/2003 11:56:49 AM
Fauna? Flora >
04/23/2003 11:42:17 AM
i'm going ot give you a 6 because it's a good photo regardless
04/23/2003 11:24:43 AM
It seemed this picture was meant for the flora challenge and it ended up here by mistake? I tried to leave you a comment without voting but that does not seem possible. As a result i can only give you 5. Wanted to say though that this is a beautiful image. Beautiful colors, composition, and dof. Had it been for the right challenge it would have gotten 8 at least. Journey
04/23/2003 10:53:04 AM
I'd make a smart alec remark about this being in the wrong challenge, but I have a feeling you're hearing more than enough already! For the other challenge, this is a really nice shot :)
04/23/2003 10:34:29 AM
fauna?
04/23/2003 09:10:53 AM
This is a beautiful shot... it would have worked well in the flora challenge :) - setzler
04/23/2003 07:00:13 AM
Fauna? Flora!
04/23/2003 06:31:21 AM
Whoops! Wrong challenge, shame cause it really is a beautiful shot! 8 if it was in the correct challenge!
04/23/2003 05:49:15 AM
Was this pic for this challenge or the Flora?
04/23/2003 05:32:53 AM
I am sorry for you because I really like your shot.
04/23/2003 02:58:42 AM
oops.
04/23/2003 02:39:21 AM
This shot would have done excellently in the flora challenge, it is very good! It somehow doesn't fit to the fauna challenge though, what a pity.
04/23/2003 02:31:06 AM
very beautiful, but.. wrong challenge :(
04/23/2003 02:29:25 AM
LOL. Fauna means ANIMALS, not flowers. :) Did you get your entries mixed up? This is a spectacular shot, but... :(
04/23/2003 02:29:24 AM
ok. where'd you hide the bug? Which flower is it in? Pretty pic, nice composition, I like the selective focus. Wish the bug hadn't crawled inside the blossom though. It'd be worth more points.
04/23/2003 01:56:58 AM
Nice: yes. Fauna: no.
04/23/2003 01:50:44 AM
Very pretty picture, but wrong challenge. This would have done very well in the flora challenge. It's well done and the colors are fantastic.
04/23/2003 01:34:17 AM
This should've gone into the Flora challenge
04/23/2003 01:24:11 AM
Oops! Nice flower shot, pity this is the animal challenge :)
04/23/2003 01:19:04 AM
is this supposed to be in the flora?
04/23/2003 12:51:34 AM
very nice picture might have been a contender for placing in the other challenge
04/23/2003 12:19:09 AM
[Comment only; no vote] This is a beautiful flower picture. Composition, lighting, and DOF are perfect. But I think you got confused and entered it in the Fauna challenge instead of the Flora challenge. That's such a shame because I think it would have done well.
