Beautifully saturated colors and I like the color contrast here. DOF is excellent. Composition is a mixed bag as I like the natural frame produced by the overarching foliage in the background, but the foliage below invades the space of the flower's stamens and is quite distracting. One more nit pick: there seems to be a leaf out of place in the upper left hand corner.

Stunning composition & image quality.
I hope this does well and see I have some tough competition for a ribbon.
A well-deserved ((8)) and one of my favorites in this challenge!

Nice DOF and colors. The muted green really sets off the lily.

Very frustrating... I didn't realise most people would be voting so quickly that they wouldn't realise you couldn't possibly have flowers this big next to a guitar.

To be fair, the artifacting around the mountain is caused by MY compression... but I find the texture of the mountain and grass a bit too 'bitty' for my taste, and reminds me of the textures my wife gets in her pictures when she insists on using maximum in-camera sharpness! The bridge itself needed a lot of blurring work to reduce it's over-sharpness.

Very interesting, slight less depth of field to really bring out the flower in my opinion, very nice shot nontheless

The only thing I notice from your compression problem is the ghosting along the mountain's edge - some patient and careful cloning could fix that, perhaps? Wonderful tonality in the grasslands and the rocks, and as Gordon has said the composition is wonderful. Tried bringing the sky down a touch? A ND-grad effect or simply some burning might just add that touch more drama - which would I think help to emphasise the height yet more? Great stuff.

I like the way the backlighting has caught his coat and brought out the red hues.
They are great subjects and usually very good "sitters" as I found out for the "National geographic" challenge.

Thanks... there's lots of compression on almost all photos in my portfolio, otherwise 10Mb doesn't allow for many good quality shots.
