I love the lines from this point of view. I would have liked to see the flow appear more naturally in the image somehow (less "posed") but I definitely like the contrasting effect - the rich blue of the petals works well in the image.

nice to incorporate the flower to offset the subject. I think because of the use of DOF it becomes the subject. I like the curve of the rusted object keeping me in the image though.
Good take on the Challenge. Love the flower to add interest to the rusty surfaces. With there had been a bit more sharpness on the rusty bits, but the composition is excellent.
