Well I like how this shot turned out, I have a feeling an unopened flower will be a popular subject for this challenge so I spent some time to get the best shot possible with what I had to work with. The lighting was the biggest challenge. I don't like the removed stem near the bottom and the piece of dog hair on the background, but I guess that's what happens with limited editing.

I liked the simplistic feel of this image along with the uniformity of the 2 leaves at left. A little more texture in the leaves may have improverd this image?? Overall it is a well done photo.
