This was another one of my "6 and a half"s. I actually had it at 7 for a while because I like how you can still see some green in the stem and leaves. The leaves are very dark but still retain a fine level of detail. But I just ended up scoring this challenge low overall. 6 was a good score from me for this challenge. I am honestly baffled at how you got scored as low as you did.

Hi Jeb, I gave you a good score on this, so I'm afraid I can't explain what happened in the challenge. One thing that maybe hurt you is the bit of wall (maybe it is a square pot) in the background. I also think that flowers scored poorly in general, well-taken or not, because there were so many of them. The main thing is, though: this was an incredibly low-scoring challenge overall. I've been looking through the TS photos and can't believe some that scored under 5, yours included. I think the scores got skewed because of the new DPL. Normally I am quite sure this would have been mid-high fives at the least. Luckily I think the scoring will even itself back out again on future challenges. Please don't think that score reflects the quality of this photograph. It is quite lovely.

Gorgeous bloom and well presented. I'd explain the score, but I haven't a clue!

Definately one of my favorites in this challenge and so wished it scored much higher.....
Again I love the warm dark colors and with this one it works beautifully.
A great composition and a great image here IMO.....

This one pleases me so much, and I love the moodyiness (if there is such a word) of this one.....
I love also the dark mysterious colors that some of your image have, but here it works so well.
I can also see another image here, by cropping off the dark sky completely, and making itlook more like a panarama. Give it a go and let me know as I love to see it.....

I like how you didn't take all the green out. This is one of the best flower shots in the challenge.
