Frank the Frog looks like a delightful and intelligent creature who could engage in a quite learned and interesting conversation on the state of the world. Whimsical & fun photograph.

Enlightened

Comment:
My monitor view inadvertently crops this with just the crystal chandelier and a hint of the archway which is very effective in your chosen black and white due to repeating patterns of the ceiling and the curves of the alcove contrasting with the whiter lightsource. Scrolling down to see the rest of it became more distracting as it was a bit hard to discern all the darker details.

Wet Red Rose

Comment:
The overlapping fold patterns of repeating and enclosing petals make this photograph delightful and give the eye pause to go over them again and again. Very nice glitter in the dew or raindrops as well.

Red Rover VII

Comment:
Sharp enough that each seperate seed which makes up the centre can be seen in detail, the eye is immediately drawn in. The contrasts of the green with the complementary red of the petals is very effective as is the repeating patterns and shapes of the golden yellow curls. Natural artistry displayed well,an excellent capture.

Carafe

Comment:
Nice tones in the cut crystal carafe. The choice of black and white makes this glitter and it is balanced by the two glasses, which hint at a story of their own perhaps.

Heavenly blessings

Comment:
The tones in the sky are diverse and beautifully tinged with multiple shades of light. The title is very appropriate to the much smaller shadowed building as natural Heaven is much more vast than the manmade structure, an appropriate analogy perhaps on a greater scale.

An Autumn Rose

Comment:
This is gorgeous - the deep reds and the texture in the repeating patterns of the folds which both encompass and enclose. Superb photograph, a definite favourite.

Daisy
by Molly

Comment:
The brilliant orange of the flower is echoed by the smaller ladybug within the centre. Just as the petals are opening outward so too is the shell of the insect as it prepares to fly away. The black background on this makes the main image pop & is in turn echoed again by the small black spots on the shell. Very nice image, well composed & thought out.

La Tour Eiffel - France
by Melethia

Comment:
Tack sharp, full of grand little details which make up the whole. What could be more quintessential France than this great architectural monument? The tones & textures in the black & white are beautiful.

Japanese Silk Kimono

Comment:
The detailing in this formal kimono is eloquently beautiful as is the story woven into it. A definite challenge favourite.
