This challenge thought me the name of this flower. Being Swedish, I've never known it by the name Buttercup, but Smörblomma (translates to Butterflower, btw). So enough stories, and down to the dirty business:

I like this and I must say that the tone of the green is amazing, but I'd much rather have just one flower in focus, the second one in the left hand corner is a bit distracting, hence my score which is a *drumroll* 7!!! (I do apologise, it's 01:12 in the UK right now.

I think that the stems being so out of focus makes the image look slightly awkard, as if the flowers are just floating there.
