unfortunately this does not work for me, whilst I love the colour in the rose the composition is pulling my eye all over the place and because it looks like a reflection it's come out a bit soft, whilst the star on the jewel is nice I might have been tempted to crop tighter at the top and give the rose a *little* more room at the bottom.

The blown parts are making this score less than it would have with proper lighting, I fear. Good idea for the challenge topic. It's a tough shot.

Maciek - This shot is awesome. Congrats on the top 10. I was surprised that this didn't ribbon.

Personal tastes, but I prefer this to the blue ribbon winner. Great shot, there's lots to look at, wonderful colours, lots of motion from the sparks and smoke, all great.
