		| | Greetings from the Critique Club, 
 Hi Kathe!  I'm pleased to have drawn this entry, as I am not that familiar with your work and this prompted me to go take a look at your portfolio - I will be back by there shortly - you have some lovely stuff!
 
 This got a 7 from me in the challenge.  I love the gentle light here, and the detail you've caught with the dew, particularly on the stem.  Colors work well together, and this is a nicely different view of the bloom.  The brightest section might be just a tad too bright on some monitors.  One thing you could try is a duplicate layer with multiply blending mode, then scaled back in opacity and "erased" from those areas it makes too dark.
 
 A very lovely entry - look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!  Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

		| | I'm drawn to those interesting fuzzy bits hidden under the bloom.  Am I allowed to look at those?? 
 Sorry..  got off track.  I really like this image...  colors are so complementary, and the view unusual.

		| | Interesting perspective...love the fine blue fuzzies...kind of old with the water droplets though...people need to lay off those a bit.  Great color and composition though.  7. |
