I like the soft background and the placement of the flower. I'm not so sure about the green border. I think the single white line would have been enough. 7
Very green! Wonderful contrast and colors. I was wondering if you tried the composition squared or with just slightly less negative space or perhaps didn't crop the bottom so tightly.
Very nicely done! I'm sure you're getting some comments about it being not sharp enough, but IMHO it's perfect the way it is. You even used the frame to add to the overall visual impact of the shot!

Lovely vibrant, rich background, beautifully out of focus and with lovely variations in shade. Border really lets this down for me as it makes the flower feel oddly cut off rather than simply out of frame.
I REALLY like this photo. It is simple, yet beautiful. The lighting and colors are perfect. Even the shadows in the background are well balanced. If I could score more than 10, I would.
Focus on the petals is a little soft. Focus seems to be on the leaves. Adjusting that would have made this much better in my eyes. Otherwise, it is a very nice photo. I know the DPC crowd is not fond of borders, but I like yours. The background is just excellent. Very nice... Good Luck!
Beautiful details and texture on the flower, wonderful bokeh as background, lovely colours ... this is one of my favorites for the challenge ... Good Luck!!
There are a few with a similar idea, but in general I like this concept. I'm not a fan of the green frame though - not sure why but it doesn't work for me.
I'm seeing a few excellent florals, and this is certainly one of them. I like the bokeh, colors, and the detail. Excellent processing leaving no artifactual distractions. Border is quite appropriate. This should do well and I wish you luck. 9
