Too bad about the channel clipping.
I actually found this one to be very pleasing based on the shapes and color contrasts. I voted 7.

What fun to see such eye-catching color. This certainly is a gem of a photo with its sharp image of such details.

Beautiful colors, I may have liked it better with a little tighter crop, but there is beautiful detail in this flower.

One of the better flower shots I've seen. Beautiful colors and the centered framing seems to work.

Good shot. I feel that if the background had more OOF it would score even higher.

In the most unexpected place imaginable, it awoke. There, among the lazy field of summer flowers, with the grasses blowing in the breeze, and a silence about that place, it suddenly found itself alive, and conscious.
It didn't know why, or how, or did it even much care, for it was like to a newborn in its thoughts, and because of this it was mostly instinct that governed it then, and with instinct came the basics of thought. Those of confusion, fear, and hunger.
And as it cast about, desperately searching for a way to settle that hunger, that so blinded it to all else for the moment, it came to the realization that it could not move from this spot, anchored to the ground by a single stem, and there was no food within reach. Then the fear and confusion became terror and anger, and it reached its face to the sky and gave a great cry of frustration, it's many yellowed teeth bared, and its lament went unheeded.

A nice warm photo with lots of reds to push that. Great focus on the flower and the colors again are rich. Like how you gave the flower plenty of room to breath at the top of the picture.

Shallower depth of field would've helped this and a different crop. As is the flower almost gets lost in the background.
