I dunno, NL's call on this one


Here's mine

Ill just post mine tonight....

heres mine..

Flower |562KB (wanted to make it good quality)
Original

Its called purple weed cause i first thought it was a weed but its actually the flower of some state... and plus it blooms so that makes it a flower and not a weed.. sorry for the wrong naming of it.... :D and i had to blow the image up to 800x600 cause my camera takes pics at 640x480, so its a bit blurrier then the original... :(

EDIT: Wrong link... new resized link is there now... and i dont really like this image... turned out really blurry when i blew it up... didnt really get 5 days to take any new pics...

And nice Pic Inhale...

ashame ur picture is stretched a bit, but I don't think were voting on the fact that a picture will obviously look crappy when stretched from its original state.. I think your picture is very artistic .. I really like the lighting

More spikey=more likey.

fusiun...

i think i have a good angle for criticism here as i've been showcasing very similar photographs in the digital photography section.... it appears that inhales flowers arent in full bloom, almost a tiny bit droopy, and when i took my pictures, i liked the thistle more than the flowers, the spikes make the image appear more crisp.

inhale, i thought at night it seems, i think it looks a bit nicer
