 The background is from a woodblock flower print we have here at home. The flower is from a bouquet my mum has. Just a last minute entry. No idea how this will fare. Just thought it was worth the fun.

I love your lighting and focus on the flower but I am not too fond of the background, it doesn't seem to fit with the flower

Pretty. The dof is great, and the colors and light nice. Great job.

Excellent composition and detail, the color against the dark provides extra impact.

Flower is beautiful, sharp and great colours. Seem to be some spots on the lens, bottom middle.

Clearly mother nature is winning. IMHO, the message doesn't seem strong enough in the image. Without the title, no-one would know what was going on.
