Is that a reflection of the poppie, or is that another poppie? I picture a reflection of the poppie to be similar shape as the one in focus, but it isn't, which leads me to believe that it's another poppie. I think that if it were a reflection with similar shape to the in focus one, I would like it a lot better. However, to me, it seems like it doesn't compliment the other one very well. I agree that it does need a 'reflection' however, just maybe one that looks like the in focus one.
I am one who thinks that the green stem in the background seems to be a bit out of place too. I think the photo definately needs SOMETHING to give it additional interest, but I'm not sure if the stem works for me in that way. If the stem wasn't there, then it would just be the flower, and that's not enough to hold my interest. So, maybe it's a good thing, but I'm still undecided on that. Like I said, it needs SOMETHING, but not sure if the stem does the trick.
Focus and clarity are awesome. Very nice detail in the flower and the drops on the flower.
I think that there may be a tad too much negative space. I would like to see the flower a bit more to the right of the photo with the nagative space to the left of the photo, but even a crop off of that would work for me.
Overall a really neat image, which is technically well done.

i wish the title would have been as subtle as the photograph, but i'm not too worried about it. this is great. the colours are so amazing, especially against the lifeless sky behind and grass/garbage in front. the power lines and tree on the left are the only elements that rob from the simplicity of this photo...perhaps you had not other option in this urban environment but to include them. nice work overall, i love it...it really is beautiful! it's great that you saw the beauty there!

Very cool! Not "beautiful" in the usual sense, but I love what you did with the desat to bring out the colors of the graffiti. All I noticed right away was the color, which I'm sure is what you were going for. One of my faves so far! Keep up the good work! :o)
