That's pretty naughty ... I'm looking at this at work y'know! :] ... oops, did I say that? Anyway, great subject and beautiful photograph. I'm gonna guess this strikes the 'fancee' of the dpc crowd.

Imperfect

WHAT! ... i WILL not have that! :] ... I like that you've chosen this flower and title (idea). Humans are so into controlling every bit of nature in the yard that they forget that nature has its own nuances.

Really nice all around ... just seems that it was resized or reduced to make it pixelated, other than that, stunning.

A Flower in the Foliage

This almost slipped by me as a 5 but the flower, albeit common to me since I have several in my yard, is perfectly in focus and beautifully balanced and soft. I like it muchly ... yes muchly. Well done 7.

This has a great saturated feeling to it. VEry nice and far from the typical flower image ... only criticism: the near-background flower almost takes away from the flower that sits in perfect focus because of the its high contrast.

I like the colors and post-apocolyptic feeling here. The light is perfect. The subject may be slightly more abstract than I would have chosen but definnitely still works as a flower. I actually had a very similar idea but useing the head of a real flower .. I didn't end up doing it but I think you've pulled it off well. A nice creative take here.

Stasis

This has a great artistic and painterly feel to it. The essence of the plant it there but I'm also reminded of the heads of insects since these flowers tend to take on that appearance ... this subliminally adds a little anxiety to the image - as does the frozen yet lively water/ice subject matter. Compositionally it's not bad but I could imagine it more offset to add a more artistic vibe. A great idea well executed with great colors. 8
