Yes indeed it does! Lovely subtle interpretation of the challenge. If you use Photoshop, run an autolevels on this and see if you like the result. It brightens/lightens it up a bit.

I like the idea, but it feels forced. Maybe a lower angle would better express the shape of the flower.

It's "ok". I think the limited range of movement for the windblown petal is making it more challenging to see "wind" in your photo. Some motion blur via a slower shutter speed would help but would introduce it's own set of problems to overcome (i.e. - the whole flower moving instead of just the petal). All of the above is JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

Lovely shot: color, composition, lighting. While I can see that the petals are blown up, I wouldn't think of wind if I didn't know the challenge.

Nice composition choice. Very nice colors. the image though does not really make me think of wind. It just appears as a very nice shot of the flower. The wind may in fact be blowing but there is not enough sway to the subject to convey that IMO.

Score: 6.
