Pretty photo! Great focus, fits the challenge rather well. Love the contrasting colors. I wish the image was a little brighter, or if not overall, have the background dark as it currently is, and a shaft of light on the flower. Very nice capture. 7
Finally a flower shot that actually meets the challenge imo. Probably because it is "looking" down or the fact that it isn't a macro (thank god). The leaf on the right is a little distracting imo...
For me, the flower is too centered. If it was framed off to one side of to one corner I would like it more. The contrast of the flower to the green is ecellent however. It really makes the flower stand out.
poor thing... it does look lonely. Nice colors... I'm not sure about the composition, it's not bad, I'm just wondering if it would look better if it was different.
