Nice macro but, not sure I see the leading lines.

Nice.
Echinacea (?) flowers are always bedautiful.
The top of your pic seems a little too dark though.

I like the way that the petals lead to the centre of the flower, but I find it a little disappointing that it is not in sharp focus like the petals are.

Terrific! Coneflowers are my favorite to photograph ... the head is very complex and interesting. Your colors are wonderful. Nine.

Beautiful colors, however, it appears it needs more light. Tad blurry.

Nice floral image. Good shallow depth of field (DOF) with low noise. Greens and pinks work well together. High technical quality.

Some viewers may not like having a floral entry for this type of challenge. Flowers are common in almost all challenges and viewers tend to rate them lower if they feel they do not fit well.

Though there really isn't anything specifically wrong with the composition there is not a lot in the framing to add interest for the viewer. You might consider other perspectives and/or arrangements of the flowers for added visual impact. The rule of thirds, of course, is always good for this purpose.

You might consider judicious use of dodge and burn to add texture to image and reduce the slight overexposure in some of the flower petals.

I love the colours. But it is so visually pleasing that it can't be a fantasy. Nothing is left to the imagination.

Nice photo. The blossoms are lovely & the DOF adds to the effect beautifully. For MY eye, I'd have preferred that you crop the leaves out of the bottom of the pic, but that is one man's opinion... 7
