Textures in this are great. the green on the right slightly dimishes the strength of the green in the flower but not enough to be too distracting. Composition and POV excellent. 8 - good luck in the challenge!
Very nice, focus seems dead on. Althought, I like the composition very much, I think it would have worked better if you had cropped more on the flower. Half the space of the picture is wasted I think.
Great detail on the bloom, but it seems like there should be more detail on the stem - it's almost as blurred as the background. Nice colors and composition though. Good job.
