Flowers are still growing; a late entry makes it an even ten.

Now I'm in I'd better make some comments. :-)

Nice idea, I don't mind the background, but I just can't get over my first
impression of "washed out". I also find that having something clipped by the
frame, like the ends of the topmost leaves, focusses me more on what not
there than what is.

I like this, bold composition, don't mind the grain at all. You could say
that the colour is a bit dull, but I accept it totally if that was what you
were trying to do.

Mmm, doesn't quite work for me. Perhaps if the flower was a bit more lively
looking. Instead of going, "oo, that's nice", I'm going, "oo, what's that
supposed to be?" Sorry. :-)

This one struck me the most first time through, and it's still my favourite.
Photos of flowers as such bore me sh*tless. For me this one is about colour,
form, light, etc., so it works.

Something different, goodonya for that. I can't add anything meaningful to
what has already been said.

Jim Kramer - http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/91992460
Eh? What? :-) Is that gecko?

Douglas Macdonald - http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/91999146
These are the kind of photos of flowers that bore me sh*tless. Sorry. :-)

Paul Furman - http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/92002759
This one made me stop and look, and that's an achievement for a flower
photo. :-) I don't mind the, "where should I be looking" thing - the
composition works for me, possibly _because_ of the split focus.

Great shot. Two things came to mind for me. Is it actually a photo OF a
flower (vs a photo with a flower in it)? I'm not saying in any way that it
is a setup or a fake, but the scene looks so unlikely, in itself and that it
could be captured, that my detector went off. Anyway, I like it for what it
is. :-)

Wilba - http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/92166500
Snapped this on my walk this morning. A pretty ordinary shot, but I thought
I'd chuck it in since I haven't been in a ShootIn challenge for a while.

Thanks chaps.

I guess I should be flattered that you are the second person to
comment that it looks like it could be fake or unlikely. It
isn't. Just a lucky shot. Thanks.

I quite liked your submission, probably more the thumbnail than
full view - only because it looks a little soft maybe at full
size? Not sure. I like the colours standing out from the
background.

It must be UNBELEIVABLY good. :-D

I think there was some motion, probably more camera than subject. It's a
smallish crop from a 4MP original, so there's not a lot of margin. I could
have upped the sensitivity for a faster shutter, but it was just a snap.

I like the colours standing out from the background.

Thanks a bunch!
