Really good, I think it would have done much better if you had brightened the flower. A little dodging/ burning.

Nice pic :)

Nice color and composition, but your focus seems a bit soft.

a moody flower photo, I like that a lot - and a chewed up flower too. Thank you for daring to be different - refreshing 7

a little too dark and a little out of focus in the lower third of the image

I found this image rather dark and the position of the flower could have been more effective in the upper part, bumping up this time round

I do like the contrast and DOF, but it doesn't seem focused.

Pretty close up, composed well. Lacking in sharpness, and does not look to be intentionally soft-focused. Nice DOF between the flower and the ground.

This one is a bit past its prime, but the colors are lovely.
