Awsome depth! This *really* came to life with editing when compared to the original. Beautiful!

6+ is a great score, but this shot was very underrated, IMO. It features some of the best lighting in the challenge and perfect exposure.

Excellent duotone - very nice image, catches interst with the g;owing petals.

This has very nice tones and the detail is good. I like the color and the play on the title name. The crop I'm not crazy about. It's not that you didn't include the whole flower but rather the dark areas seen at top right and lower right corners. Can't really explain it but they bother me. Regardless of that I give it an 8.

Nice! & it doesn't hurt the photograph cropping out some of the petals im my opinion.

Wonderful tones! I suspect that this was a rather monochromatic image to start with? I think those work best for duotone. You have a superb tonal range here, and the black background sets the flower off well. I wish there wasn't that shadow on the flower (more diffused lighting?) and the position in the frame doesn't feel 100% comfortable but to be honest I couldn't suggest anything better. Lovely work overall.

But much better than a rose. Thank you for using a flower that hasn't been used by 50 other people.
