All the photos were great - I loved all of them and had a tough time choosing a winner.

Jason - You absolutely nailed the focus in this shot, I like the reflection in the eye as well.

Mike - A beautiful photo and well executed.

Robert - This is a great example for wide open -- I don't know what it is but it's cool looking.

Hank - very surreal and I love it.

John - Well since you won I'll pick on yours a bit:-) It's centered, looks like some of the highlights are close to being blown out... Having said that I think that helps this shot as it frames the in focus part quite well and I liked the effect -- so you won :-)

You all did great with the "Wide Open" Theme - thanks for particpating everybody.

Congrats John. Thanks for the comments Monty.

I love when this lily blooms each year - I usually end up shooting waaaaay too many images - and this year in particular it has some very nice deep red/orange coloring to it. So I thought "hey, de-focus and get in there tight, it looks like it's kinda fiery inside!" That image is pretty much exactly the way it came out of the camera on Saturday morning. And now you know.
