WOW! Definitely has the "wow" factor. I had my point of view for the picture then the title gave it a whole new spin. Very cool. Not a single thing wrong with it. Except for maybe that it isn't really a true red.....but who cares right? - 10

I'm really running out of things to say about flowers against grass. As with a couple others, I think this would have worked better with a redder tone to the flower, nad I think maybe less blur of the greenery, but it's certainly topical and not by any means a bad shot.

Very, very clever; marvellous color rendition and selective focus almost make for a 3-D image.

I really like this image a lot. Yes, i can clearly see it is a flower but thanks to your capture from above it has also assumed another appearance, as your title aptly points out. I love to see flower picture; in last week's challenge there were tons of them. By now, i am pretty much saturated of the accurate documenting of 'pretty' flowers and flowers need to be done with a different take, in an original matter, to make impact on me. This was does that. Beautiful rich colors of the flower. Don't even know whether it is a tulip or what and i really don't care. I like the simplicity of the image and i also appreciate originality. 9

love the blurry background, and the flower looks almost surreally pink. Good shot.

The red is not very red, but I like the shot. The bud seems to be floating out there...
