Originally posted by DrAchoo: The processing artifact around the petals was likely a big downer. You need a shot without flaws to score 6.0. Above that it's a combination of taste and "wow" and how the voters saw those two qualities.

There are no processing artifacts around the petals - thats called DOF.

A very nice job in this zen challenge. The tonal qualities, minimal lighting, all work together for the good in this one. The subject is not extrememly interesting, but that just allows for my mind to overlook it, and make it blend into the overall photo. It creates a great sense of zen. Great job from the 'Great Job Baggie'!
