When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Artist's Comments
I thought I'd go out into my backyard to practice using the manual setting on my new(ish) SLR,(Pentax K100D) and smc Pentax DA digital lens with this red Gerbera Daisy, and this was the best one I got...
I know it isn't by any stretch of the imagination artsy, but it's still growing. Do you think it looks alright?(It sure does look better in full view!) If you see this, and would like to use this as stock, I'd LOVE to see what you can do with this, so just remember to: credit me if used, and link me final result with a comment for this, please. I do have stock photos in my gallery, and an easy way to see my stock photos, one of the folders in I have in my gallery, is specifically for my stock photos. This picture however, is not one of my stock photos, and is not meant to be used by anyone other than me. If you want to show me something I should do to make this picture better though, plz send me a note to ask me for permission to edit this picture, and wait for my ok. Odds are I'll give you permission, I just want to make sure I know who's editing my pictures and why. EDIT: My mind's acting really random right now,(as in twilight zone, Subconscious mind and conscious mind switched places) so I stared at this picture, just thinking random thoughts, and the phrase Pushing up daisies popped into my head, and I thought it would be an appropriate title for this picture, so until someone can come up with a better title for this, it shall be called "Pushing Up Daisies" EDIT  x2) I changed the crop to the closest I could get using the rule of thirds, so If you don't like this version, just tell me, and I'll try another cropping "angle", and if you don't like that, tell me again, and I'll use the old one again.

 strong color.. pretty cool... lovely
-- 'Idle hands are the devils' workshop, active mind the devils' spawning ground'  Very vibrant but I would follow the advice about sharpening.
-- "Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath hat h had no power yet upon they beauty." -Romeo and Juliet [link] FAQ #28: What are the benefits of becoming a subscriber? yeah, it's just that the non sharpend one, showed absolutely no detail... When I get the chance, I'll try to fix it a little bit more.
-- How to become more popular, without really doing anything: [link] Yeah I know what you mean. good luck
-- "Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath hat h had no power yet upon they beauty." -Romeo and Juliet [link] FAQ #28: What are the benefits of becoming a subscriber? Is this any better? This is how it looks without the sharpening.
-- How to become more popular, without really doing anything: [link] Thanks!^_^ Does this look any better? This is how it looks without the sharpening. If not, don't worry... I'll bring back the sharpened version till I find the right mix of sharpness if this is worse...
-- How to become more popular, without really doing anything: [link] definitely looks better.
 -- "Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath hat h had no power yet upon they beauty." -Romeo and Juliet [link] FAQ #28: What are the benefits of becoming a subscriber?  Strong colors, I don't think you sharpened it too much. I like the contrast and vibrancy.
-- I'm filling my swimming pool with cocaine as we speak ~ivebeentired Thanks!^_^ I actually put the unsharpened version back on here. I'll delete the sharpened part from my art comment in a sec.
