not sure the background works well with the orangy yellow flowers - something seems a bit unpleasant about the colours. A good concept though

Superb, great slow shutter to add to a nice perspective on the capitol-- 10 with the WOW factor

Lighting too spot focused on petals - the greenery seems to fall out of the light into the darkness. Perhaps that's a deliberate choice but it doesn't add anything to me. Nor does the central (somewhat stagnant ) composition. I think I can see the idea you were striving for (a simple elegance with limited but vibrant colours) but the composition and lighting don't quite pull that off for me.
:o)

This is great! The lighting/ exposure are superb - especially for a long exposure such as this. I was here only a week or two ago and also found the cranes and paraphernalia of modern architecture surrounding St Pauls to be quite intriguing. What I like most about this is the way you pull people into the image without actually focusing on individuals since the essence of Urbanity is the population inhabiting it. This really is one of my favourite entries in this challenge.
