(first let me say that's I'm biased towards flowers) you've done a fine job here with dof and the close-in angle and croping. One of my ribbon picks.

Fantastic. I've always wanted to do this shot, but I have neither the talent for setting up such perfect lighting, nor the eye to know how close is too close. You've managed to capture an orange flower in this open challenge and do it without being cliche, do it creatively, and do it without resorting to unoriginal sponaneity. I only wish the center of the flower had a little more punch...more color. 9.

Choice of black background was excellent. Makes the pettles really pop. Well lit. Great focus. If there is a negative I'm not seeing it.

Very nice clarity and color. I think it would be nice to see a bit more of the flower on the left and bottom.

Nice shot, and a good magazine cover, with a vertical format and space at the top that could carry type without spoiling the picture.
