mmmh i like the eyes, cool affect! but yes i agree with the white in the backround, it's like saying less is more and i'm guessing you tried real hard to make this one have it, if you know what i mean. heard about your knew flash, way to go, excited to see some more pictures now! :)

Thanks for the most comments and critic! i try to make it better

There is nothing for making better. Then its just perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I love the strong eye and the white background brings life into the composition.

Excellent photo - leave the halo - it works in this context!

Best,
Jon

Wonderful photo - well deserved feature. Congratulations!

This is a fine photo which I can find nothing to be critical of. I love flower images where the entire frame is filled with masses of blossoms. The pink color is pleasing to my eye, and the focus is nice and clear. The lighting is soft and compliments the subject well. You may have tried using a reflector to even out the lighting a bit, but I quite like it how it is. Good job!

beautiful! great in all aspects!

I love the light and softness in this .. beautiful vivid color .. nice work !!

The flowers are ok in themselves, but here, the subject is not portrayed interestingly, I mean there is no catch here. Just a few flowers, thats all.
I would also like to see more contrast here.

To be fair, I think that macro is a very difficult genre to make emotional and involving pictures in.

Vernon, I love the way you photograph cars... this shot is a stunning work of art and so very cool!

What a great shot! This deserves to be featured.

Great shot! Wish the car was mine!

Very cool!!

Beautiful car and processing.

Love it!

fabulous photo - the very essence of cattiness.

I love it when their little tongue sticks out like that. I always try to touch it.

=)
ever touch a whales tongue? hehe

Very cute. I really like this unique perspective, and the blue background is lovely too!

glad you like it Ladybug :)

good blackground, no real criticism... just curious if a horizontal format would add a bit to it

Howdy Tanja. This reminds me of a shot a few weeks back on WS. Was that you also?
I like this a lot but I think I prefer the other one just because of the folding pattern.
The blackground works very well in both shots and I think the subject with its almost black - green is a great choice.
No negative from me.

thx aton! yea..on twisted ;-)
was thinking about getting it printed, but since i found an old 2 dollor bill (well it's my dads..lol)i thought of doing a retake..for more impact.
enjoy your weekend!

Really well done. Really beautiful black and white.

Nice black and white.

Moses,did you google that song lyric?

Yeah, it didn't bring anything up. Hmmm

Great picture...i love it!

Cool stuff!

A very good idea. Very nice!

Really great. I have received a lot of enjoyment from this image

glad you did Jordon :)!

very creative and love the vivid blue ,nice perspective and nice work !

Aha! I see you. Very clever.

Creative and clever.

almost wouldn't notice ya if this wasn't in 'self portraits'. this is a cool photo, it makes you seek a bit. i like the angle the car is on, it gives the photo a cool shape.

Nice. Rather creative slant on the topic. Like the lighting.

well done, great work. what is it?

is this a photo or digital art of some kind? The pattern looks so perfect and symmetrical to be a photo?

Thanks for your appreciate comments!
It is a photo, a detail of a rubbish-container. And post production.

I'd hardly want to through rubbish into this work of art.

Nice backlighting and detail.

Cool effect! Very nice ornament!
