Interesting and unusual. The first thing that strikes me as being off is the top leaf looks to out of focus.. It meets the challenge IMO but feels a little of. otherwise nice colors, for the most part it's crisp and in focus. There are no shadows on your nice white back ground.. not a bad shot at all.. it just doeas not move me emotionaly so i'll give you a 7.

One of my favorites in this challenge. Wish it was a bit crisper in the focus.

I'd have focused on the flower head... makes the other leaf seem even more out there. Nice, though. Good saturation.

Little bit soft on the focus. Perhaps a stronger USM (unsharpen mask in Photoshop) could have made up for what you missed within the camera.
