this is awesome .. i love it .. definitely should've scored higher .. excellent processing ..
just read the poem .. i love your original image but your processed one appeals to my 'black' side .. it has a darkness .. a nearly foreboding quality .. sorry .. the poem is about being positive .. sort'v .. !!

You made Paul positively giddy! I didn't know that was even possible! Thank you for that. And for a very lovely photograph as well.

Processing really makes this image for me. The delicacy of the fading colors really suit the Cosmos. Nice light doesn't hurt, either.

Beyond beautiful. The best, loveliest botanical picture ever at DPC. I usually don't care if my own top choices are treated shabbily by the voters, but I truly hope that this one gets a high finish so that it is seen by as many people as possible, to show them how wonderful (literally wonderful) a picture of flowers can be!
10 from me, and thank you, plus I will swap you your superfluous 'z' for a bright & shiny Order of the Thumb.

Love the POV and the muted tones. Nicely done.

Love this! The point of view and the hint of colour makes this my fav and top vote. Hope to see this score highly but I fear it may suffer from not being eye-candy. Fingers crossed for you.!.
