I wanted to do a "Brenizer" method picture for this MPC but it didn't really work out -- partly because I didn't choose the right type of background. But here it is anyway:

1. At the Domain ("Brenizer" attempt):

2. So I went out into the garden and shot something I rarely shoot -- flowers:

For the record, these are muscari (grape hyacinth), not lupine.

^^^ heh. i was thinking of taking a similar photo (of my own strat, no less) in the spirit of this MPC just to see if I could get something cool.

[The AD]

Well, damn, some fine entries for sure!

Ok, submissions are closed. I'll get a voting thread up in the morning.

Lots of strong candidates, I've whittled it down a bit but the final cuts are going to be tough!

[LightRanger]

Holy shit. So many good photos in this one.

Thanks -- now you know that I really don't shoot flowers!

The fact that it was a subject that you could shoot anywhere and of anything really helped with participation. Sometimes it seems like if you dont get somewhere awesome and get a great landscape you have no chance.
