I just finished a new flagstone walkway in the front of my house. This flower was displaced as a result of the construction. I thought it appropriate that the two opposites be included in my shot.

The colors and differences in textures with your two subjects are great. The flower is obviously not there naturally so it detracts from the overall photo but I enjoy your composition and framing with the flagstones and use of negative space.
Good colors and focus. It looks a bit static though, like you placed the flower. If you did, I'd have added a few leaves. If you didn't - well...sorry. I think I'd like the flower facing into the photo instead of away. It's still a good photo. Nice Job!
I really love this one! Striking indeed. The color balance is just right. The flower doesn't stand out too much, as if you had desaturated the stones, but it stands out enough to keep drawing your eye back to it. And so sharp!
