I like what you've done with the photo with having the black background and setting the exposure to the butterfly. I think the coloring of the yellow and black of the butterfly with the pink of the flower works well.
I must admit however that the filter effect doesn't have an appeal for me. It's not a judgement of the artistry, just my personal taste. However I do think it is a good photo |

Mark, looking at this photo I think you should be glad that you ignored the rules. In my opinion you did a great job of framing the canyon with the cliff wall on the right side of the frame and the tree branches coming in from each side. Then you have my eye looking past them to the sense of vastness of the canyon. I also like the way you brought out the colors with your post processing. Great job, as we have come to expect. |

I like this photo as I think you have presented a nice relaxing image. I agree that reducing the exposure is an enhancement and I also think the cropping works well in eliminating the, what I think is unnecessary rocks in the lower right corner. For me the composition is done nicely and well balanced. I see the focus being just a bit on the soft side and and for my taste it adds to the relaxed atmosphere of the image.
I don't see any dominate pointt of interest that would give the photo a "WOW" factor. While the fisherman serves as an interest point to me I don't perceive other element of the photo that draw my eye to him. |

What I like most about this photo is the texture created by the slight blurring of the scene and the way in which I think the colors compliment each other. I agree with Paul in that it has an abstract feeling to it that pleases me. (I drove by there myself about 30yrs ago and I would never have thought to take this kind of photo). Great job, I really like it. |

The timber industry considers it a problem because when they clear cut a forest area and the sun can now get to the forest (or what was forest) floor the Scotch Broom is the first plant to establish itself. And once established it chokes out seedling trees that the foresters plant so they can get a second harvest.
I some parts of the world where forestry isn't a primary industry it is considered a desirable decorative shrub. |

Scotch Broom have arching branches the first go up and then hang over and droop down with the flowers. I didn't do anything with the orientation of this photo. The top of the frame is just straight up and the bottom is just straight down, and my camera was on the level when I took the shot. The angle of the flower stems is just the way a Scotch Broom grows. |

Paul, I'm not drawn to high ISO as much as I'm trying to adjust to my situation. I live only 1/2 mile from the Pacific and many of the forests I hike in go right up to the edge of the pacific (or more often the edge of a cliff that drops down to the ocean). We can get some pretty good winds that I have to adapt to for minimizing movement bluring with shutter speed. Then these forests have dense foliage cover creating low light situations that I have to adapt to with the aperture setting. So, I need to up my ISO to give me a workable exposure setting. |

I think the original is pretty good, but I REALLY like the creativity you show with the perspective of the "Bottoms Up" view. For me it creates a sense of interest and has me thinking of all kinds of questions as to how you positioned yourself for that shot. I like the way the light highlights the petals of the flowers, with the white dominating the image and having the dark background. The lighting and the contrast make, for me, the main elements of the image and I believe they have been very well done. |
