Greetings from the Critique Club...
Hi Sfalice...
I think you succeeded in creating 'orange' where none existed. Unfortunately, I think your subject suffered from the process. The detail and interest in this flower is in the shapes and textures of the bloom. Your back lighting makes the background more of the subject than the flower itself. Unfortunately, there is probably no way to correct this with your choice of subject. When I see a photo like this, I normally believe that the challenge topic is all the photographer had in mind. Sometimes a photo suffers when something is 'forced' into the challenge when it normally doesn't belong. In my humble opinion, I would have saved the marigold for a personal photograph and searched for something better fitting in the challenge.
