This is the only flower that I could find this early in the season in Montana where I live. I found these little flowers up against the foundation of my house. It took me a long time to get the saturation technique down since this is the first time that I had done it. Then I gave it all a little reddish hue to it. This poor little flower standing all alone by itself inspired me to consider it a wall flower.

I love this! The black and white with one colour works perfectly. I like the contrsats between the soft texture of the concrete and the geometric, veined look of the petals. Really nice work. I'm giving it 10.
The effect doesn't really appeal much to me, but the flower is really pretty. I am not sure I like the color and the negative looking effect. Maybe just desaturated, but it doesn't appeal to me. I do like the negative space at the top and how you have placed the subject in the bottom right. The focus seems a tad soft on the upper petal of the flower. Good luck in the challenge.
