Very nice, Everytime I look at it I think of something else it could be.
Manta rays from another world, Butterflys from Brasil, A new Georgia O'keefe painting she has completed up in heaven. Great job my favorite of this challenge.

Wow I'm guessing this is backlit with a softbox? I love the composition of this shot and would be interested to know what kind of flower this is?

Nicely done. Looks like a well tye-dyed flower. Good eye as the solid black background makes the colors pop even more. 10

wow, i really like this shot, but was the flower actually like this or is this array of colors the result of some deft post-processing?
