I'm close to hating that foreground leave, heh. I think if that weren't there I'd like the image. The processing you chose distances you from the reality of the shot (if that makes sense). You took a pretty common scene and made it something not commonly seen, but the leaf looks too familiar. God that makes no sense!

The leaf is distracting. There... nice and simple, heh.

The background almost looks like the glass they use for bathroom windows. Nice texture.

Curious, did you intend to shoot at ISO 800?

The deep blue without the stem & this would be 5 star- instead of 4.5 -I like it !!!

I like the way the light is playing off of the buildings. Nicely composed as well. The image as a whole seems a little soft, though, with some visible noise in the sky.

This things beg for a centered comp. I love the way the color and light make a gradient from the petals down into the center.

Like the texture and the lighting. The stem could be removed and you would still have a very good image here. Water stain almost suggest the petals are going to dissolve!
