Greetings from the Critique CLub -
And hello again! I will probably keep this one pretty short. First of all almost isnt quite good enough in DPC most of the time. Voters were probably really lokoing for images that were truely symmetrical. If you had found another flower that was but in this same context you would have scored much better.
Outside of the challenge description you have a nice image of a flower here. Good detail and DOF, really good color on the flower and a decent background that doesnt take anythign away from it. Are those spider legs I see coming out of the fold on the petal? NOt a wow pic but really nothign bad about it either which I think helped you out in the voting.
And like I am sure I said before - you do really nice work. Keep that up and you will continue to score well. But the next symmetrical challenge submit an image that is and isn't almost. ;) Hang in there!
