Proof that this flower is Fibonacci related...

Don't know how this will do, but since I knew where one was, I took the picture, lol! I actually like how this came out and it has very little processing. Cropped, USM, resized and border added.

I truly beautiful image! Congratulations on your ribbon. You earned it by being so far over the heads of the voters that they didn't have a clue. To get a brown ribbon for a beautiful photo that isn't DNMC is awesome.

I love the DOF, the colors, the bokeh, and the composition. This would be wonderful in a huge enlargement.

I hate math! I think it's pretty! :)

Wow a ribbon, so the red went rusty who cares, great for a title Maths in a Cone.

I don't think this one deserves the brown at all.
It's not that the focus is soft. On the stem and on the top of the flower, focus is razor sharp. What you do have is a very thin DOF that has most of your subject OOF. I think it would have been better if you didn't have the flower behind it, and if you stitched together multiple captures to increase DOF (allowed under advanced editing rules).

Focus is a bit soft, but I like the mathematical connection you made.

Good idea. I think the flower(?) directly behind the main subject clutters the shot.

I've seen photos where people relate Fibonacci numbers and spirals of seeds. So I am guessing this is where you are going with this? But I think at least the cone should have been in focus since that seems to be where your title is directing the viewer.

lacking focus on the main subject.

Great math concept, but the picture is too fuzzy and the background is too busy

Great depth of field, and nice colours. Could be sharper, and doesn't really say 'Fibonacci'.

Slightly out of focus.
The colours are pale and uninteresting but I like the Fibonacci reference.
