Nice work!
I really like what you did with this one! I like the water drops. I like the use of black and white. This is an interesting photograph! Good luck!

This is stunning. The focus is tack sharp adding to the drama of the image. Lovely composition and light. Love it in black and white. I wish I could award a 6 but none left.

Annie, I actually just voted for your flowers. You have achieved the wonderful shading and attention to
detail that b&w allows you.
I agree it's painful to turn it over to b&w but sometimes you discover something unexpected
Really nicely done.

    Thank you very much for the lovely review and thank you for the vote. I was actually quite pleased with the result, but it doesn't seem to do very well in the contest.

Great shot which benefits from being converted to black and white.The droplets add a nice touch and suggest very fresh. Good work I look forward to seeing more.

A really lovely, simple yet elegant composition. I'm not a fan of flowers in black and white but you have captured such wonderful textures here that I have to say it works. Wonderful clarity and lovely silvery tones.

    Thank you very much for the lovely review. I like them best in colors as well, but since this was for a contest I had to give it a try.

Like how they seem to float in the frame.
Good to have two facings, one where we can look inside to the middle, and see how tightly the petals fold in and the other one where the larger petals extend to the side. Together they make a nice composition.
Like the droplets.
Good focus and light.
nice placement in the frame.

Miss Annie this is glorious! Wow!
As usual, your use of natural light is
what makes your work stand out. The focus and sharp details are superb. It appears to just float. Great capture! Simply stunning.

I sure hope this does very well in the contest. It is going to take a very good photo to beast this one. It is pin sharp with very good lighting. It maybe a little better if you had the stem all the way to the edge.

    Thank you very much for the lovely review. This is a detail from flowers grown in a pot and you could not really see a stem. Otherwise I would tend to agree with you.
