Before Challenge Begins: Using the triangular blooms themselves as one each, and the space they each create between themselves as the sides of the photograph, plus the juxtaposition of the positive and negative spaces created by the three blooms together, I personally counted 10 triangles! I hopw others will think "outside-the-box" in this challenge, too! Blessings! :)

I wouldn't really call this thinking outside the box. In fact, I think it corresponds very well to the intended theme of the challenge. The three blooms make a triangular composition. The "secondary" triangles (the shape of the blooms) are nice, too. Love the colors and the bright, sunny feel! A couple of spots in the upper right corner could be sensor dust, but it could be you just need to clean your lens.

I like the strong uniform colour in the background and the shallow depth of field. The two flowers out-of-focus in the background appeals to me.

Nice photo. Title might try to add mystery rather the give instructions. Try "Angles of Purple" or something along those line.

Very nice use of DOF. Including the flowers in the background really helps to add a sense of depth to this photo.

you might like a little more reflected light back to underexposed side of flower

Very nice shot, hate the title (maybe you felt compelled to do it considering the debate about the challenge)
