A little too fuzzy. I like sharp close ups to be very sharp. I like how the light purple kind of bridges the dark purple to the yellow though. That's cool.

Pretty good colors, but there's just that punch that is lacking here. It's a flower, and it meets challenge criteria, but there's no emotive connection, no "oo, now this I like" factor.. anything like that.
6 - Nice. Good composition and cropping. Just like to see a little wider/deeper focal area, but difficult. Perhaps a little sharper/more definition as well.
