Meets Challenge: 2 of 3. It's really close for me. I'd rather the flower be lit similarly to the stem.
Technical: 3 of 3. A fine shot!
Emotion: 1 of 3. The stem provides some amount of drama (its striking), but the flower is, well, just a flower. Not all that interesting, unfortunately.
Awe: 0 of 1.

Quite grainy. The colors suggest a martian landscape. Jury's out for me on this one. A six anyway.

Nice complimentary colors. I have to say the blue is a bit of a shock...don't know why exactly. Guess I associate rusty barbed wire with more earthy tones. Does make this unique. :-) Good luck in the challenge.

Excellent contrast and comp. I love the DOF of this image as well.

Ooh, nice low-key shot. There's a bit of flare around the cross, and it's a bit too dark in some areas. Great colors in the sky. Bump up to a 6

Wow, very close up macro. Excellent DOF and sharpness and clarity. These colors should work well together being that they are nearly complimentary but I think that possibly the darker reddish tones in the rust is clashing a bit with the blue BG. For me at least.
