Voted this up to a 7. We need more creative and unusual on the front page. It may be a simple silhouette but it shows thought and application. The only niggle are the unlevel clouds (horison).

I agree, too many "photographers" do not move there feet in order to be able to obtain both the right FG and complimentary BG especially when photographing wild life. 7.

Could also have been vaseline...but that's probably not a good comment considering the subject matter :)

WD on the TT. I know you often don't care for rules and that they should be broken but I felt that it could have done with a slight off centre composition (explanation at end). Still a beautiful image well photographed and PP. Congrats.
For me the central composition works best for florals in portrait orientation. In this challenge the bokeh was the primary theme, and for me an off centre flower had NOTHING to do with rules of thirds and scripted formulae photography but more to do with the fact that the challenge was ABOUT the bokeh. The central composition took away from that theme, the central flower overpowered the bokeh. If this was how you composed the image in camera and it is uncropped then you had little room for crop, but you could have composed the image such that there was more bokeh (ROT) or equal bokeh/equal subject matter. Even if you left the flower central but had more bokeh, the challenge topic, then I would have been less likely to give you the 6 I did, and given you at least a 7, with maybe a bump to 8 as I often do for images I really liked.
