Well, since no one sent me an idea, I'll have to pick it myself.

To boost participation.. And because I'm extremely unoriginal, I thought we'd do something pretty broad, somewhat easy.. So, take a picture of Nature.. More specifically, however, plant life.

I chose "plant life" 'cause I don't feel like seeing sunsets and so on. Basically, take a picture of a plant.. Could be a close up of a flower, could be a bunch of trees.. Whatever. 👍
 
I actually took a pic last night of one of my plants. 👍
 
Here is my entry, I may change it during the week though. -

Other possible choices I was choosing from -

Nice!

Cake, love the water drops.. Adds that something. 👍
 
There's next to no greenery anywhere near my place and I have to send my camera back to sony. I'm not 100% sure I can enter just yet.

:eek: Do you have the larger version of that picture or any others like it? I absolutely love it.

Any constructive criticism for mine?

I think it looks good. Maybe darken it a bit so the flower won't seem so overexposed. Another idea is the placement of the flower. I'd move it upwards a bit so the gap between the left side is even with the gap from the top. I'm being overly picky, but hey; it's c&c :sly: .
 
I have very limited space. To the left grass, to the right a stone retainter wall. I can't wait untill I graduate so I get my Fuji S5100 so I can finally do some photography. That 935 was pain stakingly hard to get a good shot out of it.

Hello to you!

I like the picture.. Specifically how the off-focus flowers almost give off a glow.. Very nice. 👍
 
@Powripper, that looks ok, except for the pink light spot.
@Cake, that is great. I really like the water droplets, they look so realistic.
@Antihero, I like the reflection off the water, but it would have failed the photography class I took at school because the horizon is in the middle, but I really don't think that matters. Also, thanks for the comment.

Did you guys see this FAQ thingy - https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=61767

Sorry my images are a few weeks old. It is the closest I have been to plants since last fall. We still don't have any plants yet because it is too cold around here.

No worries. :)
 
I'm envious of you all! Every picture entered so far has been wonderful! I finally had a chance to go out today and snap off a few pictures, but not too many of them were flowery. I did grab this, but only had one flower picture that came out real decent. I need to retake it because the aperature was too large and a lot of the DOF and feel of the flower was lost.

I have an idea that I've tried a little and its show promising results. I'll have to give it a try tomorrow night. Its night and requires a long exposure time. Even four minutes didn't give me what I wanted!

Should we post pictures that are possible entries here or should that go in the "Photography Thread".
 
Just a side note for mine, please click on the thumbnail, the thumbnail makes it look very pixelated.

Awesome, thanks.

You can see what I mean when I say the DOF is a little too short. I'd like for the whole flower to be in focus.

Then I stole anti's idea and went for a broader botanical subject. I think the trees curve around the sun nicely.

Finally had some time to go through and edit some of the most recent pictures. These are a couple of other entries that I'm thinking about.

Holy crap I never knew levels were that freakin' cool.
 
^Yes, I agree.
The first and the last picture are a bit underexposed.
