Nice abstract... but I'm not keen on the panoramic crop which seems unnecessary, and the composition doesn't quite feel balanced to me.

Over all image impact is excellent, the use of negative space, and color make this a very interesting image. The lighting was well set and almost no shadows. The strong offset placement of the flower adds impact to the image. I feel this should have placed much higher than it did. The fact you used what you had on hand for lighting and background only make this a more impressive image.

As with any image, one could find fault with some part of it, if you look hard enough. I have only one thing to add, and that is you could have made the flower maybe just a tad darker, not much, just a bit. Having said that I still think this is a good strong image.

It would seem that I am in the minority, seeing how this placed in the challenge. That is what makes art, art. Just because this placed low in the challenge does not lessen the quality if the image.

Well done, keep up the good work

There is some technical problem here I believe....the image is not clear. I also feel the photo lacks any voice that would push it beyond being a snap shot. Nothing makes it stand out amoung other images in challenge.

Very nice! Thumb nail doesn't do it justice. Washes it out a bit IMO. 9

Excellent composition; only a slight vignetting on upper left (at least on my monitor). Delicate and simple. 8
