Petals Cast Shadows

I think the angle could have been played with to get a better cast of shadows. the color of the flower could have been enhanced as well.

if you had cropped the picture more tightly to put the onus on the shapes cast by the petals shadow and the different tones of yellow because of the shadows and light, then i think it might appear to fit the challenge description better. unfortunately, for me, it seems the shadow is purely a chance by-product of a (an admittedly well-taken) shot of a flower, and not so much a prominent element. also, i would suggest possibly scooting down a little more so your head is level with the flower; but that's more personal preference and not a knock on your shot... it is still very pretty, the colours are rich and bright, and the detail reasonably sharp... piture gets 8, meeting challenge gets 4, so an average of 6.

Love your portrait, because it hasn't been messed around with. So often the overly done use of NI just kills the beautiful skin textures. Great job, I rated it 8.

I'd surely not bring your political beliefs into a challenge unless that is the challenge.

Somehow the colors just don't appear natural looking..... as if something is reflecting onto the bird. It deffinitly stands out.
