Congrats to a TT finish!
Dahlia is such a photogenic flower isn't it?
You managed it to look a little bit dangerous
A little more contrast might have earned you an even better score

Nice detail and DOF. The centered composition isn't my cup of tea; I'd play with different crops.

I don't see the light streaks in this. Are you sure you submitted to the correct challenge?

I will be honest with you, I gave you a 4. the thought is there, teh shot is there, it is just not a before and after. personally, I felt , if you stomped on the leaf a bit, scruffed it up, made it more brown/moldy/decayed, maybe, used selective colours and brightness/contrast on only that decayed leaf, then this would have been a 6-8 from me. There is just so little comparison at the moment. I do like it though, as it has so much more potential.

A fine example of how the background can do so much for the foreground. Here, it amplifies the saturation of the colors.
