May everyone at DPC share in your honesty. I am sad to see you lose out on fourth place, but the image is stunning nonetheless. Keep up the good work!

Top five? I see your wandering in the desert did little to damage your photographic eye. Nice job!

I can see why the speck upset you. Nevertheless, every other thing about the picture is awesome and I am impressed with how decent the shot looks with out any work in PS. Very nice indeed.

Very nice shot. I love how the light slices through the trees, especially where it lights the shrub in the bottom right corner. The level of detail captured here is also very impressive. The one thing that distracts me ever so slightly is the trees in the top left of the photo. The way they lean inward breaks up the harmony in the lines created by the radiating sun and the trees standing vertical. Not a big deal at all. Overall one of the most impressive shots in this challenge. I hope this finishes well.

Nice shot, cool pose for the subject. I could have even gone for an extra 1/2 sec on the shutter.

Good DOF and subject. Crop looks to be a tad tight and there is a little bit of green in the yellow of the petals that could come out.
