OK---This is good. Nice squarish crop. Some detail in the darks which probably was better in the original photograph. Good detail in the flower. the purply background splotches work well with the leaf color. I think this is very elegant.

Good composition and great color contrasts. Crisp, clean, overall an enjoyable image to look at. Good luck in the challenge.

pretty good job capturing the textures in the white, the rest of the image looks a bit dark

The light here is amazing, I love the texture of the flower. It seems a bit oversharpened on the leaves, though.

Comment by DJWoodward:
Very nice balance in the lighting. It would have been easy to blow the detail in the blossom or loose to much in the shadows. I like the contrast of the dark background to the white blossom also. Nicely done!

Love the lighting on the flower. I don't find the background appealing or even adding to the photo, maybe a closer shot of the flower would be better.

the picture looks good because i understand how hard it is not to blowout the whites in white flowers, good retention of detail.

i truly love the way that the shape of his arms mimicks the shape of his nose. i love the proportions of the human body and this picture just really reinforces that. i really love the little imperfections he possesses as well, making him imperfectly perfect. the eyes are beautiful and very expressive. the seemless black background gives me the feeling that he has clear thoughts. i like.
