On this one, I know what I'm looking at, but it just looks....gooey or something. Not sure how to describe it, but it isn't really appealing. Again, on this one, I think the toning might have been too strong. My vote got scrubbed, but I think I gave it a 4 or 5.
I would agree with Melethia... The in focus area doesn't have enough [insert smart photography something here] to hold attention... There's just not enough contrast to make it stand out. Looking at the vote breakdown, no one thought it was bad. just "meh".
The toning is fine! I think the biggest issue is that the in-focus part of the flower is kinda "eh". It just isn't particularly attractive. Not sure if it is different in color? Your FS, on the other had, is simply gorgeous! Would have worked well for duotone, too.
