A very nice flower image -- taken from an unusual perspective, giving it more interest than the normal flower shot. The near perfect exposure is very nicely done and with a wonderfully executed depth of field.

The half-chewed petals are a distraction though -- one solution would have been to frame the image much tighter with the chewed portion just out of the frame.

The image sticks to the challenge theme well, but could have been stronger by showing more of the stem to provide a strong leading line moving the eye upward.

While I generally like softer flower shots, this isn't a general flower shot and I feel it would have benefitted from a bit more sharpeninging than it ihas. The is particularly true for the stem.

Nicely done.

Good colors but cut too narrow IMO

not keen on the half chewed flower

Great macro, but I think trying to apply it to the theme is a bit of a stretch. Really the only relation is in the title. I'd give you a "9" for the image, and a "2" for sticking to the theme; I'll go ahead and give you a "6."

Good colors. That green stem looks almost pefect and nearly plastic in a way. I like the water droplets on the flower.
