Thank you.
I completely disagree that Cartier-Bresson's photography would score low here. I think it would do great here. I think there is a real appreciation for his kind of photography here, but there are pathetically few images that rise to the occasion, really, really very few.

when i was doing Henri Cartier-Bresson for tribute challenge, i was thinking about two ribbons you won recently. Crisp images, wonderful photos for eyes. They are comple delight to watch. And no wonder they won ribbons.
But then i was thinking about my entery for tribute challenge, solid composition, but will score near 5, since its not crisp and not an eye delight. I asked myself what do i want to do, do i want to shoot flowers with 1.4 lense and make them eye candy or do i want to take pictures like whom i am giving tribute. His pictures are not eye candy but are strong on compositions. Then i asked myself would any of his pictures would have won ribbon here. My answer is mostly 'no'. They would not have won more ribbons than you have with flowers.
The thing i want to say is, your pics are wonderful but they are not great, i wish you become great photographer as i think you can do it. But then i think how many blues you want to win first. |

It definitely is real. It's a coloured daisy (a white daisy that was coloured blue); my daughter really liked them at the store when we went to look for flowers, so I got them.
BTW, we tried to get them to turn purple by adding red food colouring to the water, but it didn't work.

Great to be able to have appealed to almost everyone.

I'm gonna find out where you live, and then buy up all the flowers within a 50-mile radius of your home. I'll direct my minions of flower-eating bugs to then eradicate all other pesky freedom-loving, free-growing petals within the same area. As a pre-emptive strike, I'll then turn on my weather machine and direct 100 years of winter for your town, to prevent a floral recovery. And then what are ya gonna do???
Beautiful shots in recent weeks. Love how your flowers are far from generic, far from the ordinary everyday flower macro. There's always that little extra touch that translate into something special.
Therefore...I'm gonna find out where...etc.etc.etc.

::: Critique Club ::: ladyhawk22
First Impression - the most important one: Wow, stunning image. Was not surprised to see this getting a ribbon!!
Composition: Beautiful shot! I like the composition just as it is...it splits the screen well and the angle is really good, especially for showing off the backlighting. Might be interesting to see the flower tilted ever so slightly with the face towards us...but really, I love it just the way it is!
Subject: Great choice of subject for this challenge! Really works well to show the lighting technique that was carried off so well here. Beautiful colors that keep the interest of the viewer, and the water droplets add a nice texture.
Technical (Colour, focus, and light): Love the shallow DOF on this shot! Again, seems to show off the lighting and gives an ethereal air to the photo. Colors are spot on! Truly fabulous. Lighting is spectacular!
To grow its vote?: Oh goodness....I really don't think there's anything I could suggest!!
Summary: Wonderful photo and masterfully captured! Congrats!
