Comment by Artyste:
The backlighting is visible, but a little to weak I think.. only the top part of the flower is really showing it, and your front lighting has overpowered it mostly. A stronger source was needed for the back in order to make this a truly effective shot. Or perhaps another back source to get more of the bottom half. Even if you were going for the effect of just having the top of the flower backlit, I think a stronger source of light would have helped. It's just too soft for me.

Why did you steal my idea? (Haha now you have to search for my picture in this competition)
But on a serious side, this is almost the same thing I had in my head of shooting, so I must give it a 10, but because of the imperfection in the top right leaf I distracht 1 point hehehe, got you there. (9)

I like the symmetry.. but the flower at the bottom spoils it

interesting shot. a bit too much blue (or maybe magenta making it more purple) in the shadows though.

All the spots kinda ruin it. I assume its underwater, but, other than the title, it is hard to determine that the water is making the pic look that way

I'm thinking b/w would work better here. The bright colored background distracts from the very interesting subject.

Very nice lines and composition in this shot. Contrasting sky and sun really adds to the photo. The border seems a little overpowering, but that's only personal opinion. Nice work.

I'd reconsider the busy border.

Nice detail in the flower and great Macro shot the background over powers it though
Why the yellow?
