One of the better iris photos in this challenge. Colors are very vibrant.

Crisp and clean but I'd like to see more of a balance between the colours in question. Also the composition is a bit questionable - too much weight visually on low-left corner

The border really detracts from this, I'm sorry.

I think a yellow border would have enhanced the theme of complimentary colors more. And I get a sense the black background is not totally black, or is it just my monitor? Maybe try a curves adjustment layer?

Lovely picture but the border kills it for me, so i will pretend it isnt there.

*I am only commenting, and not voting on this challenge*

Ahh, the classic flower on black. Now with water drops!

Pretty nice. Interesting to look at, but the green over-powers the yellow for me, really taking away from the impact of the complementary issue. Of course, that's just me, and since I'm not voting, I guess it doesn't matter much :)
Interestingly enough, the border also contributes to that, and had it been a deeper yellow color.. maybe a bit stronger. Had you tried that?

This is a great shot. Wonderful coloring, great lighting, very pretty! I'm not sold on the boarder but still a job very well done.

Love the colors and contrast...the brite lite to the left distracts it a bit

One of the "best" in this challenge.....I love it, and I hope it wins a ribbon.....

3 - Good potential. Less greeen, variation in angle, composition and focal point(s), make this better in my opinion. Some of the colors look 'blown'. Also, I see blue/yellow and purple/orange here, so concentrating on one or ther other and slightly adjusting the hue if necessary also. Frame detracts, especially for this Challenge, in my opinion.

maybe to much water, and if it is croped i would have done it larger.. intresting lighting..
  Photographer found comment helpful.

frame is distracting as well as the leaf at right, image is oversaturated, too much green, too littl yellow
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2006 01:43:35 AM
wow...this deserves a top 5 or 10 finish...only criticism is I would have liked to have seen the whole petal on the left hand side...bit lovely and sharp with great lighting, well done

I think there might be TOO much to look at and no real point of focus. Perhaps a more shallow DOF with focus on the bottom left flower would've had a stronger impact.
