Great soft colors that are enhanced by the soft background. Composition is right on. The two-tone border works "ok" but would be better without the pink.

its hard to shoot the backside of a flower because the flower never looks as clear as the front. interesting take on this challenge with great color and DOF.

Not sure about the pink border line, but it does glow beautifully.

The colors are beautiful and I particularly like the way the background is so blurred. I would have scored this much higher if the flower had been in sharper focus. I don't object to the border, but I know that many other dp-ers do. That may hurt your final score, too.
