the composition is too busy for my taste..so many things to look at and no real subject..

I lke the pockets of colour in this photo. I notice my eyes jumping from one of them to the next. The water dropets are also nice even if they are seen though the flowers. I also like the white light shining through the top set of flowers - it looks good as well as breaking up the photo.

Wow, possibly the best flower so far ( I'm 70% done). I think I would have cropped out the lower part as it's darker and not in sharp focus as the rest

Lighting is awesome. I do think a tad less dof would have enhanced this photo. Still gave it an 8.

That's incredibly beautiful, certainly fits the challenge! A little dark near the bottom of the shot. An 8 from me. Good luck with the challenge

Good shot. Very refreshing.

This might have been a little more pleasant with 25% chopped off the bottom, in my opinion. the top is where the nice light is, so when my eye gets to the bottom i'm a bit disappointed...get rid of the bottom and you've got a nice shot!
