Close up of another flower, Iceland Poppy in this case. (Ugh, sorry!)
I hope it does well, as the bokeh appeals to me. My other consideration was perhaps "too abstract" for such a challenge, so I'm sticking with a more traditional subject.

The flower itself is really well photographed - the sharpness of the image is great - but the background is a little subdued and uninteresting for my taste.
This has a lovely simplicity. I love the background. The beautiful water droplets are a classic. I wonder if you did some slight adjustment of levels if it wouldn't really enrich the yellow even further. I have a real hard time with yellows myself. This is really pretty.
