		| Amazing foto! It almost has a lithographic feel to it. I like how the lone onion appear to be in the same plane as the other three, and yet this illusion is conveniently broken by the bottle's shadow. |

		| That's a wonderful image. Of course, love what you did to the shadows. They are rich and beautiful. The placement is superb too. Among the shadow I see one "real" weed, nice touch. The shape of the weeds themselves is gorgeous. This is one of the best pictures I have seen so far on this forum. Posted July 24, 2002. |

		| For me, the onion weed in the shadow on the table was the thing that made the shot perfect. |

		| I gave this a 10..it's a great shot and I remember distinctly that I commented on it.Yet I can't see my comment. Did I dream that part? lol..I don't know but I loved this shot and I had made a comment on how much I liked the idea of the one weed laying on the shadow.  Congrats! |

		Thank you all for the comments and votes! :)  I was going to post a version of the shot w/out the additional onion weed in the shadow (this is by far the most common critique I got), but it seems that I deleted the gazillions of other variations I had of this shot when I tried to clean up my photos.  Sorry.
  Anyway, I did that, as well as turning the shadow to be the vertical object to try and put the emphasis on the shadow first, and the bottle & weeds second.
  Btw, these weeds actually look that way, they are not dead! ;) |

		| Great shot, awesome framing.  I don't know why you laid the one down on the shadow though, it seems to distract from the image... i'd like to see the shot without it. |

		| This is one of my favorites this week for sure... The depth of field is phenomenal and i really love the touch of adding an extra 'weed' or whatever this is into the shadow... I wish I could make photos this nice... great shot! = 10 - jmsetzler |

		| This strikes me on two levels.  First, it looks like I am your gardener.  Every plant in my house is either dead, or well on its way in that direction.  Secondly, I would have never though of putting the flower in the shadow like you did.  Good job. |

		| I love the simplicity of this photo... white background and nothing to distract the viewer.  I really like the fact that you've placed a lone branch/twig on the shadow itself to separate this photo from all the other flower/vase photos.  I like the way your mind works.  My only 10 ever! |

		| I really like the concept of your picture, and you executed it very well. The buds in the shadow give a good effect. The only 10 I'm giving this week. |

		| Good job on this one. I like the simplicity and I think that the thistles on the left help break up the monotony of the shadow and add more interest to the overall photo. The angle of the bottle seems a bit wierd to me, but you're the phototographer, you control the horozontal and the vertical so do what looks good to you. Again, good job! |

		Cool flowers, I really like the starkness of this shot.  Why the stem on the table (not in the glass)? Photo 10 Creativity 9 Shadows 9 total 9 |

		| I like this a lot. I just wish that one of the dead flowers wasn't lying down. It is somewhat distracting and it also takes away from that great shadow. |
