Would have preferred a shallow DOF with the focus through the door, instead of on it.

what lifts this into something really interesting is the fact that the doors are slightly open. it gives a sense of usage and busy-ness, like it's currently swinging back shut. i also like the metallic sheen to the doors, though certain patches look a little washed out colour-wise. I love the use of blur and a shallow DoF as much as the next visually impaired guy; i think it's use can be deeply effective. Here, the out of focus background works artistically, but in context doesn't seem very useful - it's only from your title we know this is a restuarant.

My First Weighted Scoring System ΓΆ„ΒΆ; composition + technical 1.5/3, challenge 1/1, post processing results 1/2, ooooh factor 1.5/3, originality 0.75/1 = 5.75 (rounded to 6)

Perfect light and sharpness. Good detail and contrast. Like the centered composition and square crop. Nice choice of border...looks like a framed and matted photo. 10

Quite a colourful burst.
Nice crop, and the border actually works with this as the end of the petals have small tints of black in them.

I'm not a flower person and don't really like pink but you've got a really nice photo here - better then average at 8.

I'm not a big fan of florals.
They are ok, but are in so much abundance that it's hard to get one to stand out.
But I like this one.
Whether it's your post processing or the lighting of the flower itself, it works.
Very nice, well done and good luck.
