too much distraction in the background , the flower is fascinating with its veins and backlighting

Technically a good photograph. Just a bit noisy in the shadows. Main concern is: where is the groundbreaking photographic technique? It's not readily apparent and therefore not the best entry for this particular challenge.

I can't see what special photography technique you would have used for this. Also, it's not very appealing. There's some distracting noise in the background, which also has a few distracting elements in it. 4.

The cobwebs on the flower leave me wondering if the bloom is off the rose.

I might have cropped out that bright white on the right. I know we can't paint or clone that out.

yikes, sierra! i don't this deserved this low of a score (i gave it a 7).

my advice to you is not to get discouraged. take advantage of the galleries and the archives. mine them for examples of what you would like to do, then set aside a little time each week to try to recreate the images that you admire. you might feel that you don't have the greatest camera in the world, but it has produced some pretty decent images for others. just keep on shooting and sharing, and sooner or later, you'll get to where you want to be! good luck,
