same flower as yesterday, different comp.

I like this one better, but that is just a personal choice.
The color is better and it has that sexy look..

I love the colors in this. I also really like your title...I think it fits well. The rocks in the background are great as well...distinctive, but they don't overpower the subject. I feel like I always mention something re: cropping, but I think my own personal preference would be to crop about an inch off the top.
Really beautiful shot either way. :)

Hi payn,
The colour is amazing. I like the oxymoron idea of lively colour and withering flowers. Very philosophical.
yoyo

Every photo I hate is usully a better one, lol. And, I HATE this one. Glad you all liked it though. Yoyo, it is nice to have someone who can appreciate this type of thing. I agree everything need not be perfect or contain pre-conceived notions of beauty to be beautiful.

By the way, I only hate it because the wall.

Julsoph, you are right, it is better with the crop. Didn't even think of that because I felt the wall was too distracting and it was crap, so why bother. :D

Actually, I thought the wall had a similar effect as a gray sky with vibrant autumn leaves. I like the contrast. :)
