Interesting star shaped flower. My absolute favorite color. Very nice compositionally and the bokeh really is nicely done.

Only thing I see to change. Clone out the dark spot on the top right. Kinda looks like a fly. Other than that do nothing. It is a great shot. Be proud.

I'm especially puzzled on how the flower is brightly lit from the inside? natural light? very cool


I took it using natural light

This shot was highly under rated!! It is marvelous from every point of view, and many people disregarded it because of false asumptions!!

I wonder how this photo would look taken from a different angle? I don't know that you have captured the full beauty of this blossom. 5

Great DoF but it's a shame about the overexposure at the top. Really nice vibrant colours though!

Macros with flower/bug are very hard to get excited about, sorry. All this imo, obviously. Good luck!

Nice lighting on the flower, but seems a little over-sharp to me.

Nice photoshop skills.

Is the flower color reversed? Strange effect.

a strangely lovely flower. interesting oof background, esp the mottled greens, though I like the effect of the burned out highlights as well.

The content is ok, however the blurring around the pedals does not look right to me. Colors are good and bright.

What a wonderful flower shot!! It seems to have a light of it's own. Congratulations!! I'm sure this is going to score high, being a great contender in this challenge.
