A Bloom of Grace

This is an excellent overal image. It fits the challenge perfectly. I love the depth of field with the lower petals out of focus creating a very soft and delicate backdrop, although I think you may be voted lower by some people, because they will not notice how sharp the center of the flower truely is. The colors are great. The center composition works well here because it draws you inside the bloom. Again, excellent first photo. I'll rate it a 6. -Czaja

If there was any way to hide the fense so that this would look more "natural" or wild this would be a perfect photo. As I see it, you made the absolute most out of the subject, lighting, and colors. Great Job!

Perfect tone, lighting and leading lines, subject placement etc... Possibly over use of USM, but I can tell fro sure, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. After voting on all photos, this is 1 of 2 I gave a 10 to. Congratulations.

The sky is nice. The lighting on the car is nice. The focus could have been sharpened using USM. The editing along the bottom and sides of the car to create a black background is poor. It creates the appearance of a copied and pasted car on the background.

Very good effect created by your lense. Love the mirrored effect.

I really think the voters missed the boat on this one. To me, this is a modern day Norman Rockwell type of capture (even though he was a painter). Great Job! Keep up the courage.

I'm a huge buckeye fan. Your section did a great job on Saturday disrupting our team. I believe you played a part in the interseption thrown by Troy Smith, which was the difference in the game. Now, win out and destroy USC in the Rose Bowl! 10 for the photo.

Good use of color! I like the shot. Did you a blur or noise reduction in the sky?
