Greetings from the Critique Club -

Let me first say that without looking at your description I would have had no clue whether or not you met the challenge description. Now after reading yoru description I stil lhave noc lue whether or not you met the challenge description> I will take your word for it and believ ethat you did. I don't know binary. You could have told me anything.

Now to the image itself. ;)

Interesting pic. Nice colors and the pattern is cool. I think I may have preferred to see a bit more of the trail in focus before blurring out. Slightly higher aperture would have given that. Overall not much else to comment on here. Probably your biggest issue with any low voters would be not understanding how this met the challenge. That and the lack of any real wow power. Its a pleasant image technically and compositionally but lacks the impact that voters want when giving higher scores.

That said - welcome to DPC. This is a great place to learn and grow and most of all have fun. Keep shooting and keep having fun. I expect you will find this palce to be as addictive as I have. Hang int here!

Tim

Hmmm...I know binary, but I don't see pi there. I would have tried to make more of the flowers in focus, but let them get out of focus as it trails back, symbolizing the infinite progression of pi.

An interesting look at the confluence of mathematics and nature.

Clever idea and sweet shot... But In my opinion it's just a bit too far from the PI idea. I may increase my skill at binary.

Nice, but could be a little more in focus to make the image brighter.

i'm fairly sure you got the binary wrong ;)
1100 = 3 yes
but
1001 = 9...?
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who dont ;)
Anyway - as for the pic interesting concept and great colours/compo :)

I love this image. The colors are very vibrant, and they pop out of the image.
