Serendipity is a difficult concept to visualize. For me it means being at the right place, at the right time, and being lucky enough to capture something unique. Some of these entries are set up shots trying to illustrate that concept, and some record a serendipitous moment experienced by the photographer themselves. This is a lovely shot, but it doesn't seem to be unusal or unique enough to be very serendipitous.

Lighting is a bit harsh but I like the DOF and grainy appearance very much.

The pink really makes this photo a success. Unfortunately, there seems to be too much digital manipulation, it no linger looks real. Pretty, but I think I'd probably like the unedited version better.

Subject is great - but the image is pretty contrasty.

Subject and DOF are all fine with this image. Framing is particularly good. Noise reduction and color adjustments would have improved this image dramatically. Digital haloing, particularly on the stem, is a distraction. Looks like it may have been oversharpened.

This is a really good shot. I like the contrast between the stem / background and the very vivid bud. But is it relevant to the theme of Serendipity? Not so much in my mind.
