Excellent shot and nice background. Muscari don't look as good after a while - but you caught this one at its best.

Purple and orange aren't complimentary colors. But it's a nice shot, none-the-less.

background is distracting a simple yellow bangroudn would have been bette.r the title doesnt add to the photo 5.

Good color but I'd have preferred a tighter crop.

Nice choice of subject.

That's striking! ... Try messing with the crop for a more dramatic effect. The colors are great and the focus and subject are right on. 7

Wonderful shallow dof.

i would offset the composition so that its not quite as symmetrically located (subject wise)

neat capture ... maybe a bit too much noise

nice color

Nice colors. You should improve the DOF I think.

There is a bit of a color cast in this photo, which is usually the case when a lot of red abounds the frame. Scott Kelby has a section in his book, "The Photoshop Book for Digitral Photographers", that addresses this very issue using "threshold" and curves; setting the black, white and grey points. I would have liked the photo more without the color cast, and with a touch more contrast to bring out the color of purple; the red is too dominating. 3

7 - Up from 6. Like this, but guessing it's tweaked in pp, which for the Challenge, is 'fine' in my opinion... just like to have seen the natural color of the little hyacinth - apologies in advance if you've not adjusted the color. A variation in composition may have also given this a little extra, not sure, as does work well as is. Nice macro, but 'if only' a little more detail in the flowers, but difficult.

good shot

Purple / Orange ? Would liked to have seen more clarity on all of the bloom. Good shot, though. 7

wow, that's sharp...colours are good, not sure I like the composition with the stem smack bang in the centre
