I find the big green, and out of focus leaf in the front of the magenta flower to be very distracting. I would have prefered if it had been pulled out of the way or you had taken a different shooting angle to compose this picture otherwise. The lighting is too flat so that you can barely make out the stamen of the flower. If possible, a shooting angle that would have taken advantage of side lighting would have helped give a more 3D look.

To me you have your dof reversed. The flower, subject, is in the background, nicely focused, behind an out of focus leaf. BUT with your title, that is obviously intentional. Not sure how I feel about that or how it will go over. I have very mixed feelings about this. I'll give your credit for coloring outside the lines. And you did it very well. Just not sure personally, how I feel. It's not really appealling but there is something about it that holds your attention. I believe you have accomplished what you intended. For that you deserve a 10. For the photo itself I think, as is and as a photok, it deserves a 5. Together they get you a 7.5

I like how you have the pink flower in the center of all the colors that are used alot. I also like how the wood brings oput the color in the flower more. Nice Work

The subject seems too obscured for a cliché flower picture.

its seems to be focused on the fence. Nice and obscure though. 6.

The fence seems to be the closest thing in focus. A little unappealing to me.
