Great shot! To answer your question: I'd prefer "splendor after death". It's more dynamic, more exciting.

This is a really cool shot, I agree the detail is perfect!

I'm with Dee on this one...I think the splendor after death shot really is more dynamic and the colour contrast is simply wonderful!

Great titling Ben! It really shows off the beauty of the flower after death

This red/orange and black background are wonderful.

Black background with orange makes fantastic. Great colors, great shot.

Excellent macro, nice colours.

Tough call. I love the red and especially the light in this shot. Either way I think you can't go wrong.
18 Mar 2007 5:48am
Personally I prefer this one as the red is so vibrant and brings more life to it!
18 Mar 2007 7:16am
I like them both...but I have to say the red really pops out in this one and the light is great!
