Firstly, I think that this is a great shot, many people obviously liked it but felt that it didn't meet the challenge, I would have to agree here. Composition is good, I like the cornered composition, I would agree that having the end of the bottom stamen would have been good. Sharpness is good, showing the texture of the petals very well and the shallow DOF helps the flower stand out well.
This is a great shot and in the appropraite challenge I think it would have done much better. Good Luck in the next challenge.

A technically superior image for clarity and color. Well composed and cropped.

High marks for composition and execution. I like the paper thin white petals and the orange center. Meets the challenge? A stretch.

I like the picture, but it really doesn't say weather to me.

Very pretty picture. Is that a patch of sky above the fully displayed petal? That was sarcastic, sorry, but this picture is all about the flower. I know it takes weather to grow a flower, but it takes dirt, water, seeds and a whole lots of other things, too. While this is an exceptionally pretty picture, I can't give the higher end score due to the challenge. Very nice texture and detail. 5 Rob the Swash

lovely flower, but I think you might have missed the challenge theme?

This is a nice image of a flower, but it doesn't distinctfully show anything about weather.

This is a great photo.. but where is the weather in it? Perhaps I'm being a little too literal, but I don't believe it effectively meets the challenge. This could have been a studio shot, theres no way to tell if it was even taken outside (in weather) I'm willing to bet you would have got very high marks in the next challenge.

Beautiful macro, vivid color and contrast there. The cropping is very good, but weather?

I don't see how this caputures weather but it's a very nice picture in its own right.

weather?

At first I didn't think this picture met the challenge. Then I saw the orange center, which resembles the sun, in a layer of white (clouds...). Perhaps I have a little too much imagination :p.

Not sure if this meets the challenge. I see no weather but a beautiful spring flower.

This is a beautiful photo but i think it's an extreme stretch of the 'weather' theme... - setzler

A nice picture but I really don't see weather here - not even e.g. ray of sun or drop of water on the petals. I've marked accordingly - sorry.
