Although I don̢۪t say this is a bad picture I have scored this low.
Low in my book is not extremely low, but I guess there will be other people thinking the same way I do who don̢۪t leave a comment.
Don̢۪t take this the wrong way, this is my own opinion, and I am trying to let you understand what some voters may think.

In my opinion this does not meet the challenge, the description of the challenge: Take a picture that captures an emotion.
I looked hard, but I don̢۪t see an emotion. This could be my fault, but that̢۪s the reason why I voted lower as I would normaly do.

Nice idea. Would be better if the cross was more in focus. Noise in the darker regions is distracting, Flames hit to hard to be serene. 7.

I like the veining in the wings, texture in the petals on the right. Lighting looks a little harsher than necessary for my taste.

a large amount yields a minimal but valuble payoff

Diamond out of focus?

poor choice of silk flowers as the grain in the fabric makes it clear that the flower is not real.
