This is one of the cooler flower shots in the challenge. Couple of issues. First and foremost, it begs for noise reduction. There's a lot of noise visible on the petals. Reducing that would smooth the petals out a bit and probably enhance what could be a more significant glow coming from that white bit in the middle. A minor distraction is the lower right hand corner which is the only part of the photo not showing that rich purple color. Good luck!

this is a great shot, maybe crop out the bottom right corner? I think would improve it. Nice colour
