Oh wow. I dont think I've ever seen one of these before. I've definately heard of them, but I guess I've just never came across one. Very pretty.
Definately fits the challenge well. Got all 3 colors in one shot. The colors stand out really nicely on the black background as well. Nothing distracting in the background. Nice and simple.
The angle and framing/cropping are good. I like how this sneaks in from the top, and leads your eyes all the way to the point on the end.
My only suggestion would be to have the entire photo in focus. most of it is already in focus, which leaves the small tiny part that is out of focus to be a bit of a distraction. I'd like to see that tip nice and sharp.
Lighting is good. Brings out the colors nicely. Good focus on the part that is in focus. You show us some really nice detail here, and I like that very much.

these are my favourite flower. Nicely done. The green needs a bit of a "boost" though..it seems washed out some.

Pretty. Might have been interesting both from a composure and detail point of view to perhaps home in on one part of the flower - less is sometimes more. Looks sharp and well esxposed though.

Stunning flower, I can only wonder how well it would have done in the flora challenge but even in this challenge it meets it extremely well. Nicely done.

Ahhh, I do love this flower. A pity you could not have got one in slightly fuller flower. Also would wonder if it might have been better to foto it from head on, rather than side on. Nice shot anyway - good focus and well lit.
