After reading through the thread about this challenge, I did a re-edit, not touching anything to do with color, and working with only overall levels of light and darkness.
Manual 105mm f2.8 Micro Nikkor @ f4, Monopod, and overcast, natural light.
It's a hibiscus bud, and I liked the curved leaf. This was a walk around shot with a "new to me" old manual Micro Nikkor 105, and was not shot with this challenge in mind. It seemed to be the best fit image that I had available in the correct time frame.
It's a cliche theme image, so I expect about 5 for a score. It makes a nice desk top shot at screen size.
