I thought this was wonderful, got an 8 from me. Very good sharpness level. Good tonal depth too. The only thing I wonder about is the orientation/composition - I wasn't sure I liked the cuts on the top and bottom. If it were mine, I might experiment with making the crop more symmetrical or else maybe rotate the image so that the chops are at diagonals...? Just musing :)
Never heard of 'em ... Anyway, about the image :] ... The grainy bits on the petals definitely make these look like a gritty statue ... the contrast between the normally soft petals and the new-found texture found in the photo is very interesting and should prove positive among voters, I would think. 8
