The more I look at this, the more I appreciated the flowing lines and wild colors. I'd suggest cloning out the non-black stuff in the upper right, though, to make it a pure background. I'd also either sharpen it more or blur it more. It's kind of in-between right now.

What a gorgeous plant! I love that slice of red from through the fence - adds a lovely accent. Really a lovely presentation.

Seems a little over-enhanced in places, but I like it. Nice contrast against the black background.

nice simple photo. i like this one. wish the foreground flower could've been more in focus, maybe one with the aperture closed down more?

This is exotic! What an unusually, great-looking flower. Nice detail!

I feel like there are a few too many colors going on, and also, there is something in the background, its reddish, and it's kind of distracting. Nice shot though. Great shadows and its very sharp!

The composition is absolutely fantastic! Lots of triangles, nice colours, very appealing. If there's one flaw, then it's the narrow DOF. 10 anyway.

DOF too shallow, at first glance i really like it, but then i notived the out of focus regions
