I like this one, and love how you have taken it.
Great detail of the flower, against the black background.

A great macro shot. Nice lighting and great colors. Funny thing is I would have liked to see more depth, but I guess that is against the challenge. :) Terrific shot and congrats on the good score.

Wow! This is gorgeous!! Beautiful light, great composition, and lovely detail. Simply gorgeous. I'll bet this looks just grand printed, too.

Once again, your consistancy is incredible. Very nice detail with a subtle change in DOF. Far different from the shots with the dramatic DOF changes.

great macro shot, very sharp. Not sure if it really shows off a shallow DOF due to the black background, but a great shot anyway

Too much unsharpening or too aggressive light IMO.
Composition and focus OK.

The depth-of-field is almost not even noticeable.
