This one's a keeper. I like the tension created between the two flower heads. This is going to sound weird, but it feels like the flower on the left is flinching and taken aback by the looming (and somewhat imposing) dying bloom on the right, as it realizes (and vainly attempts to hold off) it's impending future.

This has a dreamlike quality to it (or nightmare, depending on the person I guess). Fun!

Like the processing. Background makes it a big modern abstract arty type look

'broken' cameras can take some uniquely interesting pictures. good for you to keep this one in action. I like the BG but couldn't figure out the droplet of blood by myself. "(

Yes, I like how you've processed this. It really draws the viewer to the flowers.

wow great shot, even though it's a pretty harmless subject the overall image appears chaotic (but in a good way)

The shot looks pretty good to me. If you feel like the focus is a problem, make sure that the lens is good and clean. I use alcohol and a q tip, then finish by condensing my breath on the lens and wipe with a clean q tip. I bought a nice P&S cheap at a pawn shop because the lens was smudged and it would not focus right.
That's a cool combo, with the county name and the bat for the blood drive.
