i like the images, but i'm not sure which is the focus of the challenge... perhaps both? beautiful colors and great concept, but i'm feeling torn about the balance of the image.

very nice, I like how you have 3 distinct objects that are well defined, seem to have their own space in the photo and for 2 of them, are sharply in focus. I like the colours, esp the purpley blue of the top flower. I think this challenge calls for whites to really be white and it would have been better for you bottom flower not to have a colour cast to it. The yellow of that flower would have really stood out as well - though achieving that might of been hard in basic editing. A great photo!

I love how the pruple flower just seems to glow

i like the competition over attemthin between the small purple flower and the large yellow one behind. the focus is spot on and crisp and the colors are lovely. Could have done without the little green plant in the front though.

wow the color of the purple flower is impressive, but i think the white flower doesn't help in the photo
