Ah yes, I noticed this photo during the challenge, as I've taken photos of these plants before, and saw your cry for help in the forum. The colours are gorgeous, and are the strong point of the photo. Composition is the weak point however, it looks like you wanted the stem to be in the centre of the shot, and it isn't dead centre. Centre isn't usually a good place though unless you have a really good reason for it, and here it looks unimaginative. Compositionally, the rest of the photo is a bit of a mess and the shapes of the red leaves in the background let the shot down. The dof is great, although the stem could be sharper. The quality of the bokeh looks rather odd towards the bottom of the frame.

Interesting photo which plays on the emotional responses of the viewer. Good dof and saturation.

Why did you take this photo? What is being communicated to the viewer? Too much glare off your coupon.

Nothing seems in focus, everything is way too saturated.

Here's Jonny?! I like the ragged edges of the paper which is what makes the shot for me. Great lighting. Good sense of drama.

All this time setting up your photo, and you didn't use a dictionary? Background too similar in texture and colour to blades of your scissors.
