great idea for using a circle to present a triptych. love the flowers, I think the purple one turned out the best. and i love the use of vignette, but I think I would like to have seen it more evenly distributed through the circle. very pretty!

Thank you for sharing your processing steps. I think the circular format is very interesting and will come in handy for me someday. I particularly like the vignetting that gives the triptych a slightly rounded look. Oh, and the flowers are pretty too.

I thought it was a pretty decent shot. I like the face on the one flower on the left.

Very unique! I would have thought it would score higher.

A unique approach to a triptych! I like the idea alot, though the green of the circle to me was a bit strong. For DPC with such limited space, it seems some was wasted by the circular design, but I do think you pulled it off well and did some good photoshopping to get there.

I agree with some of the comments below. I think that the three images taken individually are pretty nice. Together, however, there is not a visual impact that causes the viewer to be impressed.

I don't prefer the "peace sign" presentation - it causes me to focus more on your processing when I look at it than on your images - but I do like what you did with it in terms of having a darker area where the images are on the edge of the circle.

I also think the image is a little unbalanced as far as having two of the images have green backgrounds and one without. Perhaps choosing different pictures or a different layout would have suited this challenge better. Overall not a terrible entry, and one I am happy to have seen.

The green circle is a bit over the top but the idea is sound!

Interesting cropping but the colours seem to be very flat.

Great idea! But I wish the yellow flower weren't over-saturated to the point of loosing all texture.

I like the inclusion of the CND/peace sign, but ultimately this image does nothing to excite me. The base images are clear and well processed though. 6

looks like the yellows oversaturated on you. the pink to a lesser extent. Cute creative triptych design. 5

I like how this is done differently

Beautiful, vibrant color. Excellent detail and focus. And the pie-shaped approached is creative and refreshing!
