I saw the thread about negative, umm.. constructive comments so, since I'm free for a moment, I thought I'd stop by. I picked this one because of the score.
The score mostly reflects, to me, a lot of people thinking you didn't meet the challenge enough. To get that many 4's on a picture that is in focus and not controversial usually means it lacks a strong connection to the challenge discription.
The lighting looks harsh with sharp shadows on the main flower and most of the other flowers are obscured. The frame is cluttered with things that detract from the beauty of the one bloom. A closer crop would have eliminated all of that. My suggestion is to look at the scene thru the viewfinder and ask yourself if something supports the idea you are trying to capture. If it isn't supporting it, it shouldn't be in the frame. |

This is so sharp that it's almost three-dimensional. Not sure how I feel about the image itself, but the colors and the "pop" are really incredible. |
