07/22/2002 10:05:00 AM
this was a wonderful pic, but like many other wonderful pics, too arty for the voters : (

This was one of my 10's this week.

07/22/2002 01:11:00 AM

Wow -- even though this is a silhouette, this shot would be wonderful in the textures challenge, too. Nice job.
07/21/2002 08:55:00 PM
That is a pretty sunset.
07/21/2002 06:34:00 PM
Beautiful! Can't say anything negetaive. For me it's perfect.
07/21/2002 01:00:00 AM
very good composition
07/20/2002 04:17:00 PM
Very technical. Great contrast
07/20/2002 11:32:00 AM
There are so many good shots this week and here is yet another that I am taken with. The backlighting and low angle work extremely well here. Very good job!
07/20/2002 02:43:00 AM
beautiful light. interesting low perspective. good pic.
07/19/2002 03:54:00 PM
Beautiful photo, the duotone works very well.
I've got some minor remarks about the composition though: the stem on the left looks out of place and I would like to see everything shifted a little towards to the bottom so it would comply to the rule of thirds. But that's a matter of personal taste I guess.
Nevertheless it's one of my favorites this week.
07/19/2002 05:53:00 AM
i'm not too sure what is the main subject for this photo.. but the colours are nice
07/18/2002 02:10:00 PM
i won't sugar coat... i will just say 'friggin phenomenal'. I should throw my camera in the garbage... = 10 - jmsetzler

Really nice looking shot
07/17/2002 06:47:00 PM
love the shot ! but stem on the left a bit distracting hence
07/17/2002 06:08:00 PM
Neet. a different twist on the sunset shot. Is it real or set up? I can't tell. good photo one of my top picks
07/17/2002 03:59:00 PM
pretty 6
07/17/2002 01:52:00 PM
It seems a little dark, but for some reason it is really intriguing.
07/17/2002 12:55:00 PM
good use of lighting to produce a dramatic effect.
07/17/2002 11:04:00 AM
COULD HAVE AVOIDED SHADOWS ON BACKGROUND.
07/17/2002 10:26:00 AM
interesting stuff.
07/16/2002 08:21:00 PM
nice looking shot, there's just too much out of focus. i see one "flower" in focus but it's behind one that's blurred. needs more focal detail.
07/16/2002 05:59:00 PM
Beautiful! 8
07/16/2002 03:38:00 PM
Great picture. I realy like the lighting and focus on this one.
07/16/2002 03:26:00 PM
one of my favorites. very very nice. cotton and warm and fuzzy,.
07/16/2002 02:46:00 PM
easily the best shot of the week. great job.
07/16/2002 02:11:00 PM
I really like this but i wish ther was the smallest bit of fill flash or somthing so that we could see the flower just a little bit, I maen a really little bit more. Really nice shot.
07/16/2002 11:56:00 AM
This is the first photo I opened, the thumbnail caught my eye immediately. It's cotton? Don't you hate it when you take a great photo that works for this challenge and the next (texture) ;) I really like the coloring on this - I think of a hot and tiresome day, a view the pickers might see - and the way you captured the 'strands' of cotton thru the light. Perhaps if the background was a tad more in focus...not sure though. I do know this is a great photo, a top 10 I think. 9 cthenk

This photo is just very moving. I love the reflection of the sun onto the silhouettes of the...I'm not sure what those are, but the detail and the softness is wonderful. Is this sepia toned? Great job... 9 - KDJohnson

Lovely colour and Light, "9" Dogman ;-)
07/16/2002 09:50:00 AM
lovely, soft image. The light is really effective, especially catching the soft edges
07/16/2002 06:50:00 AM
nice perspective
07/16/2002 02:17:00 AM
Hmm. A very thoughtful piece. Very nice backlighting, and a great composition.
07/16/2002 01:55:00 AM
Wow! I just love the color and lighting on this... it makes the picture
07/15/2002 10:43:00 PM
wow
07/15/2002 10:42:00 PM
very nice photo. the lighting is surreal.
07/15/2002 07:29:00 PM
very nice, should be hanging on a wall somewhere
07/15/2002 07:28:00 PM
surreal and wonderful
07/15/2002 06:11:00 PM
I like your idea very much, maybe with a little bit faster shutter speed to lesson blur would have tweaked it a bit, I gave it a (9)
07/15/2002 04:25:00 PM
Neat texture in that silhouette, and a silhouette isn't something you'd normally associate with texture. Nice color too...though I thnk I wish that puff weren't directly in front of the sun. Dunno if that would have been possible or maybe would have caused some flare of some sort.
07/15/2002 04:19:00 PM
Cool shot. Is this sepia? Good creativity, never thought of using it for this type composition. Looks really good. 9 Swash
07/15/2002 04:17:00 PM
I like this. It just has a great look to it.
07/15/2002 04:04:00 PM
Beautiful colors!
07/15/2002 02:10:00 PM
very cool! and warm ; )
07/15/2002 01:49:00 PM

07/15/2002 09:09:00 AM
Wonderful. I love the colors and shapes. The light and darkness. 10.
07/15/2002 07:52:00 AM
Nice texture and silohuette here.
07/15/2002 04:45:00 AM
Creative photo and I like the feeling of movement. On the negitive side I think it's a shade too dark. However I still rate this a six. Kee
