I like the scene very much. Unfortunately the flowers are slightly out of focus and therefore makes it appear that they are not the “subject” of the composition. You would probably have scored much higher on your picture if it were entered in a different challenge.

Lovely, captures the feeling of the underlying photographer for sure. I also would love to see this painted, in swirls of primitive gold...

This one! In my top 2 favorites! It's not just "a flower". The context makes this special to me. I can see it hanging on a wall. Great job!

I like the way the chair and little balcony breaks up the pattern of the roofs. I would have liked it better if you cropped the top part (water) out of the picture.

Another amazing image, being in the right place at the right time is such a buzz. Congrats, this is another challenge I didn't get round to voting on, but looks like you didn't need my vote anyway.

This was definitely my favorite of the challenge. Not only did you nail the challenge topic, the composition and tones are just wonderful. Congrats on a well-earned blue!

The flowers stand out brilliantly from the rest of the scene. Very nicely seen.
