the focus is very soft on this one but the lighting is good - a little post processing like sharpening would really have helped this nice image.

Sorry, this is my first "did not meet challenge" vote. They don't have to be travel advertsiements, but in the title you could've told us what the point of the card would be. Sympathy after a death? Reminder of spring? Faded but still going? What?

Looking at it purely as a photo, it's out of focus and quite low in contrast. Maybe rotating it so the dead head is in the upper left and the bloom is more centered might increase the visual interest.

I don't think this image have any potential for a postcard. I'm sure you can do a much better job

The background is very distracting.

This doesn't really scream "postcard" to me, I'm afraid. I realize a postcard could really be any subject, but it just seems like a flower shot shoehorned into another challenge.

The busy background, harsh light and bright white hat are distracting to me, but I like the in your face interpretation of "Make like a leopard and show us your spots"..
