Nice setup with very good lighting. Great color and saturation, also nice job of preventing annoying reflections off the glass. Good job.

Just kidding, nice ligthing.

pretty colors. nice textures on the flower themselves.

Put the whole vase and whole flower in the image, or drastically reduce only on flower and leves.

Your's look so much healthier than mine! I don't usually like the pink ones, but these are nice.

Beautiful flowers!! However, I'm sorry but I hate the vase! Not a fan of the water of leaf - unless you put some on the petals too. A black vase to just blend into the background would be prettier (IMO) - then again I'm partial to 'floating' flowers ;) good job. 7 cthenk

não sei...

Great close up and dof! The colors are just "pop".. very good
07/17/2002 09:34:00 AM
very nicely composed, framed.
07/17/2002 08:59:00 AM
amazing shimmering colour. heh
07/16/2002 06:53:00 PM
very nice! I would like to see the crop a little more loose around the top.. the flower seems a dat crowede at the top of the frame :) = 7 - jmsetzler

nice, but vase on the dark background doesn't blend with flower. lighting on flower is great
07/16/2002 04:15:00 PM
nice color.........
07/16/2002 12:50:00 PM
nice, clear, good color
07/16/2002 12:30:00 PM
Big and bold, great colour.
07/16/2002 04:06:00 AM
the drop of water on the leaf, highlights in the vase, deep blue background and sharp tips all add up to an excellent still life.
07/15/2002 10:43:00 PM
pretty flowers. nice composition, and I like how the flowers stick out against the dark background.
07/15/2002 07:05:00 PM
very pretty.
07/15/2002 05:39:00 PM
Very pretty, I feel like I could almost touch it!
07/15/2002 04:21:00 PM
Gorgeous! Did you try any with the vase covered in a black cloth? Exceptional still.
07/15/2002 03:20:00 PM
nice rose
07/15/2002 12:32:00 PM
Good shot and composition. Maybe it could be a bit sharper... and I would have dried off those water droplets... I dont think there are enough to really add to the picture
07/15/2002 12:29:00 PM
I think you may have truly captured the elusive true Camelia, hold it, wait, is that a small touch of brown. Oh and such a vallient try. one of the top flower pictures thes week.

Almost surreal pink. Great shot, well executed, but slight cropping issue at the top (cut off a flower) 9 Swash

I like the lighting you've used here. I think the jar at the bottom is distracting, though -- maybe cover it with black cloth?
07/15/2002 08:37:00 AM
Cropped too closely, try standing further away. Also, get a sheet of white paper, and have it in front of the subject to try and get a bit of light in the leaf underside.
07/15/2002 07:53:00 AM
Simple, clean, clear shot. Top is a bit tight on the crop but I do like this photo. Kee
07/15/2002 07:14:00 AM
BEAUTIFUL

Very pretty. Nice colors. I would have liked to see more flower and less vase.
