Hello from the Critique Club,
Congratulations on a very solid score on this image. Your idea for this challenge was very creative. There are a couple of small technical issues that prevented this from making it into the top twenty. First, the composition looks a little unbalanced, as the negative space above the flower is taller than the stem of the flower. I think the square crop might not have been the best choice for this image. Second, your lighting is very effective except for the flashlight you used on the flower. This produced a couple of hot spots that almost look like pollen or something lying on the flower. If you could have found a way to bounce this light or diffuse it somehow, it really would have given you a bit more flexibility in post processing to bring more pop to the purple in the flower.
I really would like to encourage you to revisit this image now that you aren't handcuffed by the basic editing rules. By changing the crop and tweaking the flower, you will have something worthy of hanging on your wall. Nicely done.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.
Tim

| Beautiful lighting and color. Composition might be stronger if pansy stem were a bit longer. |

| I love the colors and the composition. The bit of blue in the corner is the touch which makes the composition very special. |
