Thanks to everyone who commented. I'm thrilled by some of the favorable responses I received. This was shot on a piece of black velveteen in low light and that helped make the background even darker. I actually had to desaturate the colors a tad so they wouldn't overwhelm the whole.

Whilst I guess a 6 is a pretty good score, I really think you've been hard done by with this result: such is the way sometimes.

Would love to know how this is lit - my guess would be a single overhead softlight - well maybe a touch behind the subject, though it could also be a window without direct light in a darkened room I suppose. Caught the texture fabulously, and the number of contrasts with those petals is amazing. I think I\'d have kept all of each petal in the shot though - I\'ve no problems with the frame being out of it, but the petals on the edge make it look like the final crop wasn\'t in the original plan.

Top work though, despite those minor niggles.

Ok - on final review, you win - the only ten i give this challenge.

Lovely, lovely. I'm not completely convinced that right angles are the strength of this, or at least not the sole strength, but they're definitely present. The colors, the composition - this is just gorgeous. Nicely framed without being static.

Great one! I like the composition and the B/W base which makes an great effect with the orange/red. The colour addition outside the frame is also a nice touch. - 9

Should have removed the pedal on the left because it's distracting. But the rest of this shot is great. Love the red/orange pedals with the silver and black.

I get the angles but the scrolls take precedence for me
