Good eye! To see a less than perfect flower and take the time to find the real beauty.

This flower really does look like fire. I like how the petals are heading in all different directions and the petals on the bottom are a darker color than those on the top. There is one spot in the foreground that seems blown out and is a bit distracting. It also seems like the picture needs some sharpening and/or noise reduction. Overall, awesome idea and composition.

I do like the subject, love the lighting but I think another angle would've worked better. Still nice!

The effect is a little strange and the focus is off. I realize you were trying for a fire effect but if not for the title, it would be rather vague.

There are a few sharp edges that detract from the image. Feathering your selection might help avoid this.

the crop on this is odd, the flower seems upside-down but the color scheme makes it feel right, some of it is out of focus & there is a loss of detail in the petals--I still like it a LOT. Risky but for me it works. fav! 10!

Awesome, though the black background feels a little bit too harsh for me.
