I like the general flow of this shot. The composition of the lines is amazing and offers a sense of stability. On a second look, this flower creeps me out. it reminds me of those arachnid things in starship troopers!
Definitely meets the challenge and exhibits proper bokeh. The subject matter leaves me wanting (not because it's a flower - I have nothing against flowers - it just lacks a "wow" factor for me). Good luck!
I like the detail and the dof on this image. I would have loved the image even more if the shadows on the flower were either not as bold, or were diffrent.
