Love this - it's like a crowd of sightseers gathered around a pool, or some weird experiment. To me this is exactly what a top macro photograph should be - whilst it keeps the fascination of seeing something larger than life, which is the obvious attraction of the genre, it is actually a landscape photograph, using and obeying the strictures of that genre too. Wonderful wonderful stuff - and a ridiculously unsatisfying score in my eyes, even if many folks would love to achieve it. The shot warrants so much more.
Great details and I love love love that you did this in b&w. Makes a little more abstract than just the everyday flower shot. The composition is quite nice and the clarity is great. Just enough contrasts to it as well.
Very good as a b/w. I really like this one a lot. Crisp details and the petals are, for the most part, nicely focused. Off centered just enough to make it interesting. Tonal range seems a bit shallow as I see a dark gray as your blackpoint. Maybe you have a black near the middle but it's hard to tell. Great job overall. 8
The desaturation works well with this image in my opinion, good clarity and contrast give it added interest and make it one of the best flower pics I`ve seen in the challenge.
Very intriguing photo. Well done. Desaturated image works well. Focus and DOF are perfect. Composition and subject matter are stunning. Hope you ribbon!
