I like the macro here...a little more light on the outer edges of the petals would have helped...

Love the sharpness on the water drops...

Great crop and composition...well done

Only nine votes below 4, overall, people liked this photo, but only 11 votes over 7, says not many LOVED it. When I look at it, does not convey a bright, happy yellow, more a thoughtful, reflective hue. Not a bad thing at all, but may be why the main population (including me) said, good shot, but...........! Hope I am getting my elusive point across here, I think a LITTLE bit brighter may have made a world of difference, but, as always, that is MY OPINION!

I like the sharpness of the water onthe petals but would liked to have seen that sharpness carry through to the center of the flower. Sharper detail for the whole may have cut back on the whole lighting issue. I liked it because it wasn't another bright and happy flower shot.

Interesting composition, the way you have the flower positioned in the bottom right corner. I think this works well and adds an element of interest to 'the millionth' of these shots!

The lighting could be improved, either that or some more post-processing to really make the colours and contrast pop. Right now it looks a little bit grey and flat.

The water on the petals adds nicely to the shot.

I think this may have suffered score-wise because of the unsharpness of the central petal, where it bends towards you and pops out of the plain of focus (is that the right terminology?).

This is a very pleasing composition that maybe could have been lightened up a little. Again, as one of many flowers it probably suffered during the voting process but it is one that I personally like and would be proud to have taken myself.

Nice, sweet flower, nice colors, though just a tad dark for my personal taste, seems the yellow could/should be a touch brighter but it works like this as well. Lovely composition and lines, a 7

Looks like a pear who has just shed his green skin.

cool effect, but the needle and piece of ballon kinda undo it for me. maybe have someone burst it from behind wearing a black glove.
