Grainy, maybe over sharpened. Can only guess for a horticulure magazine or article anouncing winning flower at a show. Cropped to closely Not good execution at all. Also title doesn't really tell much about the picture and accompaning article. Not a good shot. PTL3

Comment by jenarom:
At first I was going to vote down this picture due to the amount of compression artifacts in the image. But, on second thought, I kind of like this picture because of the "texture" caused by the compression, and the vivid colors. I don't know for sure if you really intended to do this.

Far too pixelated, too tightly cropped and it doesn't fit in the challenge. Sorry. Nice bright colours though.

Looks way out of focus - probably caused by too small a crop. I can see the pixels. Not cover worthy.

The colors in this are wonderful, and it looks like it would be a really good macro. However, it seems that it is extremely pixelated. It looks like you have cropped it out of a larger picture, then enlarged it or something. Of course, if this is deliberate, that is another story all together, and I would be most interested in hearing why. karmat

Nice for a card or print, but photojournalism, I'm not sure. I wouldn't rule it out, however, depending on the story it went with or the publication it would go into.
