I think that you may have been better to present the image on an angle thus making a larger image

nice image - the gold and the purple go well together. I'd like to see a little sharper detail on the petals

I'm sure that my 10 year old daughter would be tempted by this :)

For me I think that the image would better with the bottom 25% cropped - but I'm not a kid :)

I think that you could have rotated the image slightly to the left to fill the frame a little more. You need to have a larger dof (try f11 at the same focal length) in order to ensure that both the flowers are clearly in focus, then with a little sharpening combined such a beatuful background this image would be very impressive.

This is a really nice image, although the unfocused leaf does take centre stage as with the 'rule of thirds' the leaf is set is a very prominent position.

The more time that is spend looking at the images the more attractive it becomes, unfortunatly in the world that is DPC the time that is required to appreciate this image will almost certainly not be given.

Cropping 25% off the top of the image would help to direct eyes to the detail in the lower part of the image and take attention away from the leaf.

perfect for the challenge, there does seem to be a few obvious light areas from where the sky has been burnt, great image nonetheless - 8

wonderful, the dof is perfect, there are blown out areas but this is a very minor point - 9
