Nice work. Simple and beautiful composition. The black background looks great. Well done.

RobertVovk  06/07/06 @605

Very nice shot, only part I would change is that flower wouldn't look like it is hanging from the air. Great tho.

ARZILLIER66  06/07/06 @609

There's a little story that goes with this for those of you who care to read (LIKE YOU HAVE A CHOICE - lol) ...Poor Maridol battled the humid weather, brandishing scissors like a pirate but her enemy was strong, poor lady had her hands pricked many times, the plants fought back *chuckle* Gorgeous work Maridol, simple and delicate almost like a natural fireworks display... must go find my needle now, guess I have a few thorns to dig out, eh???

Very nice 'clean' image Wonderful contrast and detail. I would have centered it just a bit more, but that just personal taste. Great going Maridol + 10

talime  06/07/06 @634

i like the composition . its very simple and very nice =)

coladelight  06/07/06 @644

Thanks for the comments/votes Robert...I'm glad you pointed that out...I was aiming for the flower to look like it's floating on air so I consciously excluded the vase Maridol

Tommyguns  06/07/06 @684

Nice Composition!!

ThruMyEyez  06/07/06 @828

A beautiful classic image. I'm not sure it needs all the space on top, but regardless it looks good!

MrBlue  06/07/06 @853

Simple and therefore effectful. I like that.

Mihai  06/08/06 @977

This is great Maridol! The contrast is awsome! Love it!

alsh  06/08/06 @049

Madanapale  06/08/06 @072

Thanks ladies and gents I hope to go back to my homeland, the Philippines, sometime soon, that I may share a bit more of my country's colour and beauty via photography...but we all try to find that wherever we are I may try to do some drawings in the future but at the moment my time is limited to learning photography Cheers! Maridol

SubtleDelight  06/09/06 @013

I like the solid black background and how you avoided including the vase in the shot. Great job.

Andy--Jones  06/09/06 @238

Lovely photo. The contrast of the light flower/ plant and the black background set it off brilliantly!

cupcake  06/09/06 @881

That is very good, I like the explosion of gold. Top Marks Maridol

Traff  06/11/06 @788

Somehow this has an oriental feel to it - like one of those inlaid marquetry boxes - the colours and composition feel symbolic somehow. I can't quite put my finger on it but your capture is excellent. I feel I'd like to see what it looked like with an even more exagerated crop - more space to the top - maybe even double it - I suppose it reminds me of those long oriental 'papyrus' scrolls. Really stunning. Phill

s8n  06/11/06 @943

Dutch-Memory  06/13/06 @374

ilanale  06/13/06 @813

This one is very unique. I like it very much!

piscesking  06/13/06 @942

very nice indeed , i like it too........... +9

Gosia  06/14/06 @978

I like the minimalistic quality of this, really enhances the texture & details of the plant/flower. Good exposure and the black negative space works well.

EideticImage  06/14/06 @156

Congrats on #1 I have no idea what the subject in question is , but it looks exceedignly soft but brittle at the same time , i like it against the black bg

coladelight  06/14/06 @243

Thanks everyone! I still don't know what this is...I asked several friends here in Japan and they also don't know... Maridol
