Without the title, I wouldn't have considered this a puzzle. I think the subject is cool but I find the final product lacking. There's no style nor wow factor, there's no story... It's just the tops of some plants. I imagine that I would like this more if it were a macro of the leaves, which are very cool. More of an abstract shot.

I think a macro or a different angle may have been a bit more interesting.

I know what it is but the image doesn't work for me Perhaps a closeup of the leaves would have been better.

Didn't notice the "help" until I was reading Barry's comment. Doh! Curse me for a speed voter.

Comment by Dave Gordon:
Nice composition, but oh, those blown-out whites! IMHO it would have been better to let the leaves and yellow flowers go a bit dark to hold some detail in the whites.

I see a lot of compression artifacts around the red letters, but your file size is already at the challenge limit, so I don't know why it is so bad. You should not have had to use a lot of compression for this image, and the file size indicates you didn't. (I'm a little anal about JPEG compression!)

I like the title--but the highlights seem too far blown. I'd try adjusting the levels...
