Fantastic composition and use of narrow DOF. I really like this. I didn't vote in this challenge, but this would have scored at least an 8 with me. :-)
Excellent command of space. You really know how to bring the eye into that yellow flower and then make VI switch to the upper right side of the photograph where there is a blurriness and I must admit because I do not know what that blurriness is that I find it a little disconcerting and it takes away from the message of the photo. Perhaps it is my own idiosyncrasies which do not let me figure out what that is-a garden hose-a pot? You certainlywill score well no doubt and rightly so.
