I like this one, and love how you have taken it.
Great detail of the flower, against the black background.

A great macro shot. Nice lighting and great colors. Funny thing is I would have liked to see more depth, but I guess that is against the challenge. :) Terrific shot and congrats on the good score.

Once again, your consistancy is incredible. Very nice detail with a subtle change in DOF. Far different from the shots with the dramatic DOF changes.

great macro shot, very sharp. Not sure if it really shows off a shallow DOF due to the black background, but a great shot anyway

Too much unsharpening or too aggressive light IMO.
Composition and focus OK.
