I really like this image. The subject is compelling. I love seeing the flower in its environment--it says a lot about the plant in a sort of botanical way. The composition nicely points to the subject and supports the information.

If I were to suggest ways to make this more of an "art" photo, I think you could eliminate much of the background information and focus more on the interesting blossom by cropping in much closer. The lighting is soft and realistic, to make it "pop" you could increase contrast and brighten the highlights some. sharpening a bit more would show off the veins in the red petals and pull them out from the background. All that said, I really like this image mostly as it is without DPC-ifying it. :)

The light and color really grab me in this image! The black background sets of the yellow with drama! The negative space works well, adding an extra dimension to the composition....nicely done!

I like their expressions..pleasant and relaxed. There are some technical issues with this image, however, including color cast and blown out highlights...
