I'm only about 15% of the way through all the images in this huge challenge, but I had to stop to say that this one took my breath away. It is absolutely stunning.

[Back to say that this is one of my 2 10's. There were so many great images in this contest that I should have given more 10's, but this and my other favorite are so far above the pack, IMO, that I could share the high scores with any others!]

Compared to the darkness of the ground, I find the sky to be a little flat. Maybe a slight contrast enhancement in the sky only would add a little more drama and impact?

This is a nice shot. A little more croppiong and you will have had thirds, creating slightly more interest for the eye, well my eye anyway :).

Comment by gloda:
A bit too shallow, I'd have liked all of the stem to be in focus instead of the tip only. 7.

Wow, that's a very tiny area in focus! Excellent and beautiful phtograph.

3 - Mainly for the potential. Like the concept, good colors. Criticism; if that pistil/stigma were nice and sharp, even if nothing else were in focus, would have made this much better in my opinion. Perhaps a variation in the composition too, with a little more space on the left and a tighter crop on the right, may have also made this better, not sure.
