I stole this [magenta] flower from the bathroom of my favorite bar last night. (Sorry, Fox & Hound in Arlington, TX.) Anyway, I wanted to try to take some pictures with it in my cute vases, but from different angles. This was my favorite shot (and I love square crops). To make it fit the challenge, I used selective colors and made the magenta blue (the original's in my portfolio). I also enhanced the saturation. I know people hate flowers, but I hope this is judged more on its merit of composition. We'll see...

Just came across this while browsing the site and couldn't believe that it didn't score higher - other shots in the challenge must really have been stunning! I love the composition, colours and textures.

The white looks a little off in the bottom left hand corner but apart from that a stunning photo.

I like this photo. One Problem the flower is too close and everybody can see the cup. the cup is too distractin causing your photo to loose points. 8

Colors are great but the scale from the petal to the bottle seems a bit off
