Excellent use of bright colors, interesting shapes and use of control of focus. I actually think it is a very good quality image and would have given it a 7 during voting had I had time to vote.

I wonder if a slightly different crop/ rotation so that flower center is oriented and centered a bit more geometrically would have raised the score. With the fact that the red 'border' not being even and also not offset siginficantly, the photo appears a bit unbalanced. Taking care to provide the same space around the image throughout would have given it a more polished look. That's my impression anyway - but like I said above - I like the image and I think it works pretty darn well!

I like the vibrancy of the colors and the kaliedescope (?sp) effect.

Hi Jon. I gave this a 6. I liked the macro but I felt the red overwhelmed the picture. I've been trying to take tulip pics lately and have found it's a PITA to do. So I cannot suggest any ways to do this differently lol.

The comments crack me up. Cucumber, people. If I am wrong. Then I obviously have no clue as well.

Beautiful abstract! The lighting behind it is gorgeous!

I'm stunned that so many commenters couldn't tell what this was. Do these people not pay attention to the food they eat? And I think you deserved a MUCH higher score. This is a wonderfully creative take on the challenge theme. I scored this one tied with the photo that took second place.

You sure got folks commenting on this one Jon. I think it looks like an ovum with spermatozoa trying to get inside, but then that would take a really big macro lens.
