 This motivates me. Something as awesome as the sun refigured in the visage of a humble weed.

This is my sexy macro, so no crop necessary. Just curves, some words and a touch of USM.

Do you know, I only gave this a 5 during voting. I wish I could go back and change that, because you are right, it is motivating, and has given me a lift this morning with a new day ahead of me (and the sun is shining here for the first time in nearly a week!)

The flower seems a little soft and my eye doesn't know where to focus. It is drawn to the text rather than the image.

A greater depth of field, having the entire flower in focus, I feel would have been a ctronger overall image. As it is, too much of the overall image is out of focus,..........

Dont think the shallow DOF helped in here... besides... where is the motivational thing? (ok... totally agree about the sun importance to life... but this is not motivational)
One more think... actually I think that the sun it The life machine...

his photo lacks of a border (I'd prefer there to be one, consider it as you were writting a motivational letter and following certain rules) I like the message and the DOF
