I wish I'd had a better title to convey my intentions in this image. I found that the macro demonstrated strength and power at the cellular level. My other titles included things like "The Power of Teamwork -- Every Cell Pulls It's Weight," and things of that nature. I was delighted with the comments I received and glad that a few folks even saw the connection to the theme!

This is a top-notch entry! The lighting is super and I think it meets the challenge quite well. You've reminded me that quite often there is strength in very "simple" things.

What does this have to do with strength? Like the picture very much.

Lovely! I have seen similar pictures of similar content with similar composition but this one has a different texture to it and I really like it.

Beautiful detail and color. Certainly a creative take on the challenge theme.

I am not sure how this fits the category, but it is a very nice shot. Great detail and texture, with really good lighting.

I can see how this fits the challenge!

Well, I'm a goner for this type of shot -- I've tried many times to take similar so I know the challenges... well done. It's one of my ribbon picks this challenge -- BOL

This is a beautiful example of the way things work. You can see the individual parts of the leaf, the cells the channels the connections. Very good. I'm not sure if it really illustrates strength, or if it is ingenuity. Whichever, it is very good.

LOVELY photo! but where is the power tie-in?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Doesn't really say strength to me.

Very beautiful.

nice macro...though you're really taking a broad view of the subject

I wanted to score this one much higher, but I can't seem to wrap my brain around how this fits the strength assignment (except through the explanation in the title). Lovely color and detail though.

Lovely textures. Your interpretation of the theme has been executed very well. 7

Gorgeous photo, but doesn't make me think of strength/power, as I feel a leaf is easily broken.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/14/2004 09:32:59 PM
Love the color and texture
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Compositionally and technically beautiful, but it's a little bit of a stretch for the topic. No points off for that, tho. Nicely done.

Just want to ask... is this Sony becouse the green color is so cool.... like the macro.

I think it's a real stretch for me to see strength in this image. But it is a great study of texture and lines. Beautiful colors. I'd like to see it just a bit more diagonal.

Beautiful, but strength or power is not here for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/14/2004 06:09:13 AM
I don't see how this shows strength...please explain.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/14/2004 05:01:16 AM
I could give it a 9 or 10, but if it fitted more to the "strength" subject of the challenge. VERY good one.

VERY nice picture, but does not fit the challenge very well
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/13/2004 08:29:55 PM
I like the picture, excellent framing, but I think it is a stretch for the challenge
