There have been some flowers in this challenge, this one is better than most others. My only complaint would be that the step on the right side is a bit blurry. But I still really like how you managed to get that high key feel with the white background and still keep the detail in the flower, even if it could be a big brighter. 7

I like the picture, but for some reason the focus seems off to me.. Maybe you over-sharpened?

Brilliant editing. I love the preservation of detail.

A bit chalky but certainly a good image for a challenge that was somehow misunderstood. But I cannot stop thinking why such a great sunflower was not captured in color? Well, of course to respond to the challenge. A vicious circle. Anyway, top 5

Nice secluded spot. Colours appear pushed and unnatural i.e. lime green leaves and grass.

You are lucky to have such a beautiful private place. I'm not super keen on the HDR in the trees. The harsh edges of the leaves are somewhat hurting my eyes. It does look nicer in the rocks.

Obvious tripod use: High.

Obvious use of a tripod, or any other long-term stabilization tool (1-10 *is not the score of the shot though*): 10
Nice soft waterfalls and sharp rocks. My only irritant with this shot is that big tree branch hanging down in the way of the pool area. That really kills the shot. Maybe a lower shot position could have eliminated that.
