 Top 10? Hmm.. not bad for an hours worth of work.

'Basic Editing' ruleset + my reluctance to crop + approaching deadline meant I kept the harsh leaf in the lower frame. I dunno, I kinda like the contrast...

BTW, this is a Parade Rose, the buds are quite tiny...

Thanks for the nice comments :)

Love the blue toning and the "eyeball" look to the flower. An excellent and very unusual image.

i first thought this was an eyeball. Nice picture but doesnt 'pop' enough if you get me. It would look good on a wall to be admired for a few seconds but i think the large dark part at the bottom right doesnt really serve a purpose, maybe a sqaure crop with the centre of the flower to one of the sides would have been more appealing... to me at least :)

THAT IS SWEET! It looks like an eye and a flower. I like how the water droplets are sharpened against the background of the blue flower.

My first thought was that this is a beautiful flower, when I looked at the lower part I felt the blown out bottom leaf really hurt the mood the rest of the photo conveys 7.
