Greetings from the Critique Club. Thank you for submitting your photo to the DPChallenge.
Great capture of a flower, and all of it's beauty. The slight turn of the flower to the right, makes it appear like it has wings, and that it will soon fly off. The white and yellow colors does provide a great contrast. The background tone is very well done. It gives the subject a good color balance. The focal point being the middle of the flower is sharp and colorful. The way that you overlapped the flower petals away from the frame, makes it appealing to the viewer.
Technically the photo is very good. There are some factors that could have made it more favorable. Some of the lower left petals needed sharpness. So a better depth of field (DOF) could have solved this blurriness. I am not sure what type of lens you used. But sometimes its better to pull back just a bit to get a wider more sharp focus. Then when you post process you can zoom and recrop the shot closer. You would need to shoot in Raw or highest JPG format so the image pixels won't get grainy or pixelated. Another factor when submitting photos to the challenges, is to get as close as possible to the 150KB limit, as possible.
Overall great job in photographing this flower for the challenge. It's simple and elegant. The colors not too over done. A good intrepretation of the challenge. I like the borders. Again, this gives it another color appeal to the total photo framing.
Good luck in your next challenge. Zagman.

| Nice macro. Love the deep green background and the overall composition. Centered? Who cares, it works here. |

| This is my second go-around =) - what a great idea! Very beaitiful! I only wish that the bottom petals in the low left corner were in sharp focus like the rest of the petals. It's a little distracting. However, great job!!! 8 |

| Nicely done, although, in such a shot as this, I'd like to see all the petals in sharp focus, whereas the ones in the lower left are a little soft. The rest of the flower is wondefullly sharp, though. |

| A great interpretation of the challenge. Good focus and light. Colours just a tiny bit flat and the crop is a little too central and static for my taste but still good work. 8 |

| Absolutely gorgeous! The plain background, along with the color combination of yellow and green are great and draw the eye to the center of focus, the middle of the flower. The best yet! |
