I like the tome of the colours here. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a focal point here for me. If I look hard, it appears the the very center of the flower is in focus with a high degree of dof for the rest. Unfortunately, most voters will not see it and will vote according to the belief that the entire picture is out of focus. On a another point, parts of the pic appear to be overexposed.

Comment by JunieMoon:
Exposure is too bright. Focus could be better as well to show more detail in the separate petals.

It's not in focus exactly...or it's not very sharp.

The colours are great, and they are certainly complementry, however I think the subject matter lets you down in this one.

This looks like orange and green rather than red and green.

Lacks proper focus or at the very least the focus is too tight.

5 - Nice. Softness works here in my opinion. Having said that, still like to see a little more definition, even in the lines/shapes. Perhaps a little more height too, not sure. Difficult, but the colors tweaked more, especially for the Challenge. A sharper angle/perspective to reduce that 'gray' also.
