Comment by HBunch:
Very pretty. I really like how the petals are all frilly like that. It is too bad these are endangered. You have a nice DOF here. The background is properly blurred and the subject is nicely focused. Lighting is good. The subject is lit good, and background darkened in nice contrast to the flowers. Great shot. Good luck in the challenge.

Would have done a little levels adjustment to enhance the contrast a bit. 8 as it is still a very beautiful natural looking photo.

Thanks for the good description of the plant! Only about half the entries name the flower!

i gave you an '8' because while i thought the photo was just okay, it was such an original idea, met the challenge well, and i loved it - i'm so glad it did well. congrats!

ps - i guess my main complaint about the photo would be the shadow on one of the (leaning) bunnys and also even though i can see the water line is straight the bunnies seem to be at an off angle (one of those things that you only see later and don't want to bother to go out and re-shoot to fix ;-)
