One of my favorites. Outstanding detail and the lighting gives a 3 dimensional feeling.

Fantastic detail and colors. One slight distraction is the blue line in the background on the left side. In my top 4.

OMG .. as in .. OH MY GOODNESS . !!!!! ..
talk about intense .. and dramatic .. and just wonderful ..
this is an outstanding example of black and white flower photography ..
everything about this is captivating .. i'm blown away ..
what i especially love about this is that centre piece and how those petals are curled protectively around the ones inside .. the dynamic feeling of this is also incredible .. :)
ps .. i'm not voting yet .. :)

should appeal to the voters .. of which i am one .. !!! ..
its very graphic and so well seen .. the metal is just wonderful ..
unfortunately for you its leaving me feeling like i want more .. to me its just too dry and mechanical .. so for that lapse you will only get a 7 .. ;)
