took me all week trying to get the zooming while clicking done, lots of messing with levels and curves and stuff, sharpen and then noise, save foe web.

Camera Work/Technical: Interesting, but the flower lost some of its crisp focus with the camera movement. I do like your choice of WB, as the colors are nicely captured.
Lighting: Great lighting for the effect you were after. The subject stands nicely off the background that you created.
Composition/Content: I think that this one is a bit too centered. While I am no stickler on the rules of photography, it often helps the image by pulling it out of the center.
My Opinion: I think that this one scored pretty close to its potential. Voters here like vivid colors and high contrast. I do like the idea, and I think that you pulled it off pretty well.
It's "ok". This may have had more impact if the subject flower wasn't centered. You have some negative dark space on the right that could have been cropped out. Just a thought. Good luck.
