It would be more interesting if I could tell that the plant was still in the ground. Nice perspective if it is.

Nice sky. Simple, but keeps you eyes moving around the picture.

Nice reflection shot. The colors are good and the mirrored building and the reflected buildings all meet the from the ground up theme.

Interesting idea. The title is great! Lot's toook at, but your eyes flow over it.

Definitely from the ground up. I like the crop with the sky starting in the left corner. There is a symetry along that line and then you hit the other structure in the lower right. The sky breaks up almost like leaving a prism. What is that structure on the right anyway. It looks like aligator skin. Very surreal.

I started to think it was getting quite dark to the left, but the sky is so nice. I like the perspective and the texure.

Pine Cone - from the ground up.

Now that's a neat idea! I like the depth of field leaving only the middle in sharp focus.

Even though there are so many leaves and branches, there is a symetry to it. There was an earlier shot of a tree that I didn't bother voting on since the branches went in all directions and were more pronounced. That picture was too busy, and this one is quite nice.

I don't think the title helps, but the sky is a nice blue. The balloon is detailed - I like the rope to the left. It's too bad the flame couldn't be seen. I took pictures at the Gatineau Balloon Festival 2007 and admit, you can only get the flame when it first starts. The crop is nice as weel. Your eyes move back to the balloon from any spot on the picture.
