Interesting shot. And humorous. I think it needs to be a bit more clear.

I'd say "It's Mardi Gras!" except, of course, it can't be. However, I am curious what it is.

"Loud colours" is right. This photo is very busy and seems somewhat out of focus. I see the double-display of the challenge topic but the composition is sufficiently distracting that it's not a terribly attractive photo to me.

Very busy and the main part of the shot is taken up by people's backs - not a fascinating view.

Lighting: I don't see anything wrong with the lighting you used... I am assuming it was natural light??

Technical: As you've heard before, I think the focus is soft. These are obviously gorgeous flowers, and a sharper focus would have made for a better photo.

Challenge: Can't get more yellow! Definitely met the challenge head on!

Overall: Really a great shot and a wonderful try! I have always struggled with depth of field and focus, both of which would have made this an even better photo. All I can say is practice practice practice. But, I still think it's a great shot and one you can be proud of.

Nice composition, but focus is too soft. Try more lighting, wider aperture?

At first wanted to say needs more focus, then thought no, now think yes. It needs better focus in the center, then if you want the outsides a little off, ok. Maybe just sharpening it would accomplish the desired effect. Beautiful flower.

This is graphically a strong image. It's a simple composition, which I appreciate, yet strong and solid.
My eye gets drawn in by the perspective. The scale is very interesting, and it's good you included the people to show the scale.
I don't agree with the comment that "there is too much negative space." The neg space works well here.
A little more light on the people probably would be enhance the image, but there is enough to make it out.
Overall I like this and I congratulate you on your vision.
Regards,

It actually looks like a painting. Neat take on the challenge and I like the perspective. It may have been just a tad brighter.

Good composition. IMO it would be nice if we can see more detail below the ceiling.
