Reminds me of "The Day of the Triffids" but in a nice way :)

I'm not voting in this challenge. The lighting on the sunflower and the person don't quite seem to match, almost but not quite.

What a striking portrait! Everything about it is beautiful. From the falls to the light and shadows to those unbelievable eye lashes!

This is just awesome!

Looks great. My only quirky nitpick is the image feels too tall & tight. Wish there was just about 25% more width to it. Great job though!

It's a technically sound image. The exposure's good, the dof is superb (bit of bokeh going on there, magic) and that's why you got the well deserved high marks. But at the end of the day, it's just a flower shot. For flower shots to evoke lots of response, they need to pack a punch. Either with in-your-face dramatic/mother-of-all bright colour, or with exquisite (perfectly executed) shallow dof/macro. It needs a little something more to grab the viewer's attention and compel them to tell you that they've been absolutely spellbound by your imagery and want to have your baby.
