Greetings from the Critique Club :)
Hi Train...
This is a lovely flower... I think there are several opportunities to improve the shot though... The background/surface color doesn't provide any particularly strong contrast or support for the flower and its colors. The composition here seems a bit odd to me as well. It's a tight crop on the left and right. I would have considered cropping even tighter or including the whole flower rather than clipping the very tips of the petals.
Keep up the good work :)

I like this shot, but I think I would like to see all the petals, I wouldn't have cropped them. |

Stunning. Beautiful subject nicely captured. Great detail in the middle with nicely soft petals. |

Very pretty flower, detail, focus, and backlighting. Why the choice of this crop, though? |

lighting is unusual, separates this from most flower macros |

Love the soft backlight and the center colors. Maybe crop a bit closer ? |

NIce flowe shot is a sea of many flowers this challenge. Well done. I may have cropped is a little more in at the obttom to make it a bit more symetical, but the shadow at the bottom also works |

This is so pretty. I wish the flower were floating (to avoid the shadows at the bottom. Nice tone and focus. |

Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure focus lighting all good, composition could be stronger.
Personal: I love the light from behind, and the colors are lovely. But I think a different composition could make this shot better- I'd prefer to see all the petals in full or for them all to be cropped evenly.
My vote: 6 |

Beautiful, I like the way you cut off the top which makes it look different. |

I would have liked this better if the petals on the left and right were not cut off and given a bit of background around them |
