Comment by redmoon:
the colours in this are gorgeous, lovely and bold and very pleasing. the crop works brilliantly well, and i love the level of detail on the green areas. only slight reservations is that i wish the blue was a tad bluer, and the yellow petals were a bit more perfect looking (i.e. without the flecks of dirt and so on - unnatural but more fitting i'd have thought). i do like the luminescense of the petals though - a really nice touch.

My First Weighted Scoring System ΓΆ„ΒΆ; composition + technical 3/3, challenge 1/1, post processing results 1/2, ooooh factor 2.5/3, originality 0.5/1 = 8

Nice composition. There are spots on the petals I would have liked to see cleaned up and the grey overtone to the background seems to kill the happy sunny yellow of the flower.

Simple, but crystal clear (no pun intended) and nice red background.
