Literally, I just got my camera back 3 hours before deadline. My sister-in-law was borrowing my gear to see what type of camera she might buy.
While I don't deem this as a DNMC (there is a flow going on), not sure if it will do well 1) It might be hard to see the lines, 2) It is a flower shot, 3) No central subject
It's a okay picture, nothing I would print out. Though I am not a person typically into floral. More of a stock image than anything.

Oh yeah, I'm renting this bad boy lens (70-200mm 2.8) for two weeks. Actually, received it a day before I got my camera back. Have some fun stuff to shoot this weekend, hopefully it is freestudy material.

I think I need to take out a red marker and draw some lines. :) Just kidding. It is a dyslexic "S". I guess macros/frame filling are not conducive to the S-Curve.
It's a boring photo at any rate. Live and learn.

I love the colors and the feeling of this photo, the last hurray before winter. The colors are classic autumn and the wilted petals echo this feeling. I agree with most of the commenter's, the S curve may be too subtle for some of us. In spite of that I gave this a 7 during voting.
It's a subtle s, and backwards to boot, but it is there. Nice saturation in this shot - all those yellow flares punctuated by little black puffballs. Have fun with that lens!
lol and why on earth did you not throw this into "S"oft focus? It's a very pretty photo and I love the contrast between the ones that are still blooming and the ones that are dying.
