beautiful green tones - complements the orange center. Well seen. Great POV and composition. Still debating back and forth about DOF but the glow on the edge of the petals is consistent and superb - might be ruined by more focus there. I just can't get over this shade of green - very striking. Nope - larger DOF would detract - one of the things that makes this image is the glow from the lighting - having the edges of the petals in focus might ruin that. 9 from me - good luck in the challenge!

Very nicely done. The color verses the black background is super. The texture to the petals is very nice. A little soft on the right side edges but, very very nice pic.

This is pretty - like it's floating in a sea of ink. The fuzzed edges and crisp focusedcenter is nice. I like the light around the edges alot.
