Wow...lovely! I would have liked a little more square crop with a bit more black surrounding the bloom...however that is personal taste. This is very well done.

Congrats on the top 10. This is a perfect example that there is no substitute for excellence. The high technical quality you applied bringing out the subtle tonality of this flower with its exceptional sharpness is what garnered your high score.

This was one of my favorites in this challenge, beautiful exposure, congrats on the top 10 finish, Will make a beautiful print! I was interested to see that it is considered a weed in Australia, I am originally from Zimbabwe and South Africa and we saw lots of these, yellow ones too among some others.

Congrats to your top-ten entry, had already seen this ribbon - must be, because it's in color...

Very sharp, crisp. Would like a border of half this size but still very comforting for the eye to look at.

Good technique, nice flower, little bit too tight cropping on the left side, in my opinion.

Very Nice DOF, Tack Sharp, Nice Color and contrast. Lighting looks very artificial a bit warmer and you would get more of a natural look. Great Job 9.

Whoa, finally a picture that meets the challenge without being overprocessed. Only some lights seem to be blown, otherwise excellent composition, sharpness, color - 9
