 Well. This is my second choice. I do love flowers and this year I have taken a series of each of the flowers I like in my garden. This was at the beginning of the poppy blooms, and it was two of the duller orange ones. Dust removal, clarify, some other stuff, crop, resize.

I thought this was a lovely abstract. I kept going back to look at it. It was one of my top picks. What I enjoyed was the texture the overlapping petals created and the placement of the center thingee (I'm tired--all scientific terms have left me momentarily) so low in the frame.

Wonderful view of a poppy. I love the lighting and the way you have layered the petals. Only point that I might discuss would be to show less of the center (forget what that's called). All I would need to see is the very edge to help identify the subject and then just let the user flow up through the layered petals.

Very nice idea. The back lighting helps distinguish the depth of the layers of petals, however, a little more reflected light into the flower itself would have been nice. A 9, and I hope this does very well.

I really like this shot. Personally I think I would have scored it higher if the black center was taken out so that the photo resembled an abstract landscape. Bravo.
