I have been growing this miniature orchid beauty for 18 years now. The flowers were just opening and I wanted to wait a few more days for them to take on a richer and deeper color, but I only had one day to shoot this week - Thursday :(

would be nicer if the bush was more in focus as thats where the lines lead us.. also, while there are lines leading to the subject, the vertical lines of the fence are pretty powerful as well and sort of take some power from the leading lines in the process... great composition for a shot though... good color and lighting

Nice use of the challenge and color. The flowers seem just a bit soft on focus though.

a touch oversaturated on the red (warm) side. Makes the flowers a bit overbearing and the fence draws my eye over too much

Meets challenge well. Flowers would benefit from sharper focus.

You did a good job of meeting the challenge. I like the red tones in the picture. I would like the flowers to be a bit more in focus though. Good job and good luck.

Should use levels or saturation to remove some of the RED in this pic. That would make the subject a little stronger I think.

Great use of the challenge. Love the warm colors, composition and the lines truly lead to the focal point. I might have chosen a tighter crop in the upper left, and a little less exposure on the flowers, but I'm sure your entry is doing better than mine!! 8

good work :) Your leading lines actually lead to the subject of the photo :) I like the color contrast in this image as well.. - setzler
