The orchids are lovely. I don't like the grey tone of the background so much.

I think the subject either needs to be presented "whole" without the awkward cutting off of the blossoms at the frame or somehow a point of interest needs to be created by selecting a part of the whole. There is a beautiful arch of blossoms...but the spiral curve is interrupted.

Back to comment: You found some nice fall colors to shoot; however, the subject matter is not very captivating to look at. The power lines and the dead tree up front distract from the appearance of the colors and are not pleasant to look at. This image also looks a bit out of focus. You may want to sharpen more after down sizing an image for a challenge. Most people use Unsharp Mask to bring back the sharpness lost because of down sizing.

nice setup, but nothing is in focus - so my eye doesn't know where to go. Not sure if this is a zoom, shaky camera or just too wide an aperature...

Good color, nice to see it not oversaturated for a change. Maybe cropping picture down to left side could have taken out the distraction of utility poles. Needs to be sharper.

I'd highly recommend cloning out the telephone poles in this image. That was allowed in this challenge.
