For me, I wonder how this would look if the main sunflower was more off-centered and maybe taken from slighty above or below eye level - to add a little bit of interest (and maybe more light too).

No... does not meet challenge. This is a still life.

I like the idea but the flat coloring takes away from the image for me.

i dunno, the color seems muted here, seems like just not enough punch /5

In order to get away with a photo such as this in a Portrait challenge, it really does have to be exceptional, and i'm afraid this isn't. It is though, a perfectly competent photo of a flower.

So, let's assume everyone on DPC thinks outside the box and decides to vote a 10 on this image. Wouldn't it look kind of funny to any DPC visitors coming to the site for the first time ... seeing a blue-ribbon winning sun flower in the Portrait challenge?

I just don't think the "world at large" could even appreciate the box that is being stepped out of. Portraits are, to most people everywhere, images of people and perhaps sometimes animals (as portraits tend to focus on the face, some animals might fit people's definitions for portraits).

But I just don't see anyone confusing this image for a portrait without reading your title to make thing think of it.
