Greetings from the Critique Club :)

First Impression:
At first I was a little distracted by the background on your photo which is taking away from your main subject however I like the colours and the placing of your subject.

Composition:
Good use of thirds. But your subject is the last thing you look at on your shot. As when we look at a photo we tend to look from left to right meaning that we are seeing the distracting background first instead of the outstanding flower.

Subject:
This is a good choice of subject for this challenge. Yet something I may have thought about doing is putting a white backdrop behind it. It does not have to be anything special just something that will bring the flower to the front of the photo by eliminating any distracting background.

Technical:
As it is natural light there is not much I can comment on for your lighting. As for colour the colour in the petals is absolutely spectacular and I feel would have being enhanced even more by the use of a backdrop as I have already mentioned.

My Opinion:
I am afraid I agree with the voters here. It is half way it is a nice shot but with a little extra work could have gone way up maby as far as the top 20̢۪s

Feel free to contact me via the pm system if you have any questions about this critique.

This looks like a really crisp photo. I love the colors and the textures--they're all so sharp. Nice job.

Beautiful vision of the object, I find the colors a little last

I am such a sucker for good images of flowers especially roses, but this is a well taken macro image and deserves to be in the top ten.

Very messy background. Need to use a bigger apperture to drop it out into a blur

I think you've over saturated the red. I gave a 4 on this because it fits the theme. It's a good picture, but there is too much noise. I think it's also over sharpened as well. It might have worked a bit better if placed in a better looking background.
