I love the composition but the lighting and colors seem a little flat. Sharper focus and higher contrast would improve this image.

I like your use of Depth of Field to blur out going right to left... I think I would have prefered a little bit more of the total image to be in focus, but keep the concept and loose focus by the margin. I also like your composition greatly... the diagonal lines add energy while they all lead the eye to your sharp focused subject in the corner.

Pretty, but...

There's something just a little 'off' about this picture. The yellow stamens look like their highlights are slightly blown out, perhaps from over post processing?

I think the DOF falloff is a little extreme, I would prefer more of the petal in focus too.

I love the lines in this photo and how they draw the eye through the shot. Your DOF really created a focal point on the flowers center which works well.... 8

I like the DoF on this image alot and the way the lines brings your eye down to the corner, but it seems to be lacking something... perhaps an imsect sitting on the pollen would have improved it. Nice job overall.

I wish the bottom left yellow part was more sharp. I like the soft lines of the pedels.

The burst of color, not quite strong enough for me...

Cool! My original concept (which I didn't go with) was of a clear video game controller...so I'm giving you a high score for your obviously imaginative thinking. LOL Background texture is nice, too.

Nice close up. A little more petal in focus would have been my preference.

I like the shot, but a couple of things bother me. It looks like you just picked your camera up and took the shot as you were online with dpchallenge. Also, not sure if this is a true backlighting shot in the truest sense of the word
