I would have liked this a lot more without the border.

I like the 2 grounds of this photo: first with the flower, second with the ferns. Nice composition and colors, gives me the impression of being in the jungle. Bravo.

Don't care for the thick black border. Nice lighting!

IMO, the flower is too small for such a "far away" composition. I would've preferred seeing the details of the flower better, but those are lost with the lack of sharpness in something so small, if that makes sense.

This is just deliciously deep and emotive. Outstanding.

Love the woodsy feel to this; it's like finding treasure that gets passed by most of the time.

a little tighter crop to help isolate and highlight the flowers would have helped some

Looks like a hidden forest the way you've made it dark. Nice!
