Nice photo. It has some warm (red, orange, yellow) colors, but it is not primarily warm so you may lose points because of that.

You already got my input during voting, but I thought I would let you know I gave it a 7.

Particularly at this time of year when there is only the anticipation of things coming back to life it makes me quite happy to see this picture. The multiple patterns are great with the obvious twist of the petals and the finer detailed veining of both the petals and the sepals and the wonderful contrast zig zag where the green sepals meet the pink of the petals. I love how the DOF is just right to be in focus from the curve of the stem to the tip of the petals. The more I see it the more I like it.

I did like seeing this during the challenge. So soft and pretty - natural patterns at it's best. I love how the soft light is shining on it and makes it stand out from the background.

I like the composition, I think the negative space is fine.

I think you might have done a little better if you could enhance the swirl somehow - quite tricky in basic though.

I love the colours in this.

I thought this was very good for the challenge. Excellent job with the exposure to keep from overexposing the pink, and excellent detail in the veins of the unopened flower, and the green petals at the base. Nice!!
