Fantastic image :)
I love the colours, there's all sorts of things happening in the photo (it's very interesting!), and the little flower really is personified well, especially since there's such a difference between it and all those big daunting flowers around it.
Woot! Congrats on a great score and a new top row shot. This really intrigued me when voting - you've managed to really personify a flower, giving it "ambition" indeed.
Oooooh, nice one, Brian!!! I love the energy in this photo. Congratulations on such a great finish -- and what a great photo to be in your top position on your profile :)
Stunning photo. I expect it to do well even though it's not relevant to the challenge. I'd give it a 9 in some relevant challenges but have to penalise.
