Very nicely captured floral image. The background is not pure white and that may hurt it with voters (as if being a flower won't already. lol)

Because of monitor differences sometimes it is difficult to obtain pure white. It appears solid white on your monitor when it really isn't. The only way to know for sure is if your image editing software has a numeric display for the luminosity of individual points in the image (most do). In that case pure white will be displayed as 255 in all three RGB colors.

Heheh clever entry. Meets the challenge in a unique way. The image itself could be much more striking with increased contrast, etc, blah, blah. There's about 40,000 moon shots on the site. This one isn't bad, just could pop a bit more. Good job on thinking of it for diagonal.

I think the color makes it look too unatural.

Good use of a strong diagonal shadow in making this moon shot interesting.
