Blue and yellow are not complimentary colors. Good idea though.

I think the focus should have been on the yellow flower, and not the stem. But I do like how the stem makes your eyes follow it to the flower.

(I'm making an attempt to explain why I give any photo 3 or less. Obviously I won't like these photos, but DPC is a place to learn a) about what works in this environment and b) about what other individuals think. Please don't be despondant just because I don't like your shot. Rather than that, if your entry scored low, please try and understand one commentor's reasons.)
The boring sky and the choice of focus are the two major reasons I voted low. If the sky had been a beautiful blue one with lots of interesting clouds, the score would be much higher. Also, I feel that the focus needs to be rethought. Usually, out of focus parts push the eye to the in focus bits. Here, your lower stem is more or less sharp, but the flower head is not. Does this symbolise an upward, unknown journey? It might, but the effect is depressing because the colours in the bit we know are very dark.

I can't believe this scored so low. I was sure it was going to finish much closer to 6. Gave it a 7. I like it a lot.
