This is one of my favorite new flower photos this week. I love the balence of colors with the yellow and red, to the green in the background. I wonder if you did the exact shame shot and put a magnitying glass over your lens, if it would make it a bit more crisp. Sometimes with digital cameras, a bit is lost when you use zooms, the mag. glass just helps to replace that. Your lighting is supurb, couldn't have been better. I like the variety of shades of green in the background. Very nice shot. Good luck with the challenge.

This one should have been centered I guess ... missing something on the right side

very nice! I think the depth of field on this shot is perfect... I like the way this lily goes from soft a the bottom to sharper at the top... the contrast between the subject and the background is also nice :) good work... = 9 - jmsetzler

Excellent color. Excellent DOF. I would have cropped this more off-center with less of the lower flower showing. 9

The sweep of the bloom from the stem up to the pistil would make a nice diagonal had it ended closer to the upper right corner. Excellent use of DOF, however, the empty greem area on the right bottom is too much for my taste. Nice colors and subject.
