 OK, this is a reach. I think people just aren't going to get it...
I took a fake sunflower apart, cut out the center, and glued it back together. I then spray painted it the "negative" of all of its colors. Then I put up a cardboard box (tan's neg is blue) with a hole in it (and a blue gel over it). Lined up the sun, with the hole in the box, the hole in the flower and my camera and "let her rip". In Post processing I inverted the hole image, cleaned it up and got this". The black dot in the center of the flower is actually the sun...

I am not expecting much on this one...

I like this, bold, design oriented, but a good visual composition. All the work you did and the majority of people didn't get it and didn't like it?- I would say that makes it quite a success...

Fascinating approach, and a very successful endeavor. Unfortunately it was lost on voters in a simple photography competition, but that's to be expected when the greater context is unknown. Thanks for sharing the process.
