I counted 70 flower shots (not counting the ones with bugs) in this challenge. This one I ranked a little lower because of the uneven lighting. The outer portions of the flower are so dark with the lower portion being in complete shadow. The focus is good, however
6 - Good concept. I would give it more but I know what a magnificent flower this is and a macro of the centre would have been great. An amazing flower. Wonderful perfume too. I like the cactus stems in the background too, though for me, more color or contrast of them, 'using them' as a background more (or even closer and the contrast of textures), would have made this better.
Great contrast and excellent detail. Very nice dramatic lighting although the shadow on the bottom of the flower is a bit distracting. I think there is too much empty space on the left.
