I like the desaturation while leaving the bright red letters. The crop and tilt is nice also. Looks like you shot with an good Av keeping the background in near focus, makes it more dramatic. All the way a good photograph. I like it.

Your subject seems to be out of focus and a little dark. I wish you well in the challenge.

Looks like you have some nice color in your picture but it's just to small for me to judge adequately. I wish you the best in this challenge and future challenges.

The softness around the edges of the petals sets the mood of this picture perfectly. Love where you have the focus point and the lighting is great. Great Photograph, deserves to be framed and on a wall for all to view. 10

Good job. Some shadows are harsh and the border (red) is, IMO, overpowering. Good focus on subject.

I maybe going against what some may be saying but I know you would want my honest opinion. You had a good idea here but I think it fell a little short. One thing that is distracting to me is the selective desaturation. You have destaturated the green of the leafs but a few around the flowers retained its color. The flowers themselves offer very little detail with dark centers that distracts me. The layout of the your subject in the bulb is leaning all to the right giving me an allusion that the bulb is not symmetrical.

The focus is good along with the lighting. Maybe it's just me but the processing did little or anything to enhance this photograph especially when comparing it to the title to try to arrive at a connection. The background is nice and even and the DOF is good.

I think this could be a great photograph executed properly.

Nice overall picture. Good tone, not over done or under exposed. Focus point exactly where it needs to be with a DOF that still lets the viewer know the subject surroundings. Pleasing to the eye.
