One of many Midas touch pictures of this challenge but yours is the best one IMO.

Best Midas picture of the challenge! It feels like the flower is really turning gold. 9.

Sweet. Very nice shot - the smoke/mist adds more interest to the shot - I can feel the flower turning. Excellent!!

This seemed a prevailing theme throughout this challenge, but none came even close to your mastery. A winner for sure; but you must already know that;)

My favorite of the Midas theme. I like the flower in transition to Gold. My only complaint would be the cropping, Too much empty space in the lower part of the image for my taste. Very well executed

One of the best Midas setups

I've seen several of these Midas pics, but this is the best so far. I'm not sure that I like the finger being gold as well, but that's just personal taste. 10

Out of so many of "midas" photos in the challenge, this one certainly is the best and stand out from the crowd. I love the dreamish feel due to glow and the idea of transformation happening from real to gold. Smoke just adds to little more drama. This certainly need to be in top 5. Touche'.9.

great simulation of the magic of King Midas. the swirl of smoke is a very nice touch. perhaps a bit more space on the bottom than necessary?
