The flowers are crisp however there is nothing that really gives the impression of new. Also the image doesn't have anything that really inspires the viewer. Just some flowers with a grey background. Flowers are always risky for challenges as there are just so many entries.

Missed some water in the headlight wells when you dried it lol. Just kidding. Very nice and clean image. Depth of field was tight but you appear to have pulled it off pretty good and kept the shinier part of the grill mostly sharp and pleasant to look at. good job.

Trying to be helpful here, as I don't this this shot will score well. Firstly, the focus isn't close enough or detailed enough on the rhino hide to truly meet the challenge subject of texture. Secondly, the fact that the face is almost completely hidden by the bush in the foreground, means that there is no true point of focus to the image as it stands. On the other hand, the light is lovely as it shines on the skin and it's just a shame you couldn't get in closer for the shot. Perhaps a tighter crop featuring just the upper middle part of the image would have done better.
