 Well, if anything the challenge saved the life of the plant - I found out it desperately needed water.

Croped, resized, changed saturation, used curves, brightness and contrast. Added a border.

Post challenge
-----------------
Thanks for the comments - I admit I pushed the saturation up, but the red leaves looked strange otherwise.

Way overprocessed. Too much saturation and contrast which gives the image a very harsh feel to it.

Okay, I'm sure I'll be the 50th person to say this, but I have to. White Balance!

Your horizon is dead on and the lines are good. The actual table your camera is on is distracting (but what can you do, it's a table top challenge). The shadows are a little distracting, but there's not too much you can do about those except try to get your light source softer.

Good luck. I can only give you average scores.

White balance is way off and it makes the reds very distracting IMHO
