This is a nice photo. However, It leaves me wondering whether or not the grain really enhanced the image. To me, grain works best in photos that are dark, contrasty or moody, or to provide an "aged" look. This seems to me like a good image that had grain added to it for a contest, rather than an image that was enhanced by the use of grain. Keep shooting! :)

8 - Good use of grain for the Challenge. Criticism; not much, maybe 'wider', but I like it like this. Colors are nice and 'soft', you retained the 'feel' of the seed heads, even with the grain, so well done. The 'bokeh'(?) is nice as well.

Now that's color pop. Perfect border to set the focus in the frame, watercolor backdrop adds to the effect yet does not distract, crop perfect as always, abstract quality works to keep me engaged. Would have scored this one very high.

The subject isn't as compelling to me as some of your other "man made" ones. I'm tending to focus on the technical aspect here and I get caught up in the not-quite-parallel background, the odd crop on the right and the dark base. Didn't vote but I would have scored this about average.
