Coming back to bump you to a 7. I really like the textures and focus in this shot.

Very interesting close up of a new born sunflower! The detail is outstanding, you can almost see the pedals burst open in front of you!

Wonderfully sharp image and great use of light..straight out of the botany text book.

Very nice focus - is it perhaps too tightly cropped? I like the closed secretive look of the center petals and I like the way the smooth ribbed yellow petals contrast in texture with the skkikey outer leaves., Just the composition that is lacking a punch. Wonder if the image were square whether the dead center position might work better? 7

A beautiful shot giving us a different perspective on the life-cycle of a flower. The details are very crisp and the lighting is excellent. Well done!

Wonderful close up with lots of fine detail, crisp sharpness and good DOF. Color is a bit muted, but still very nice.

Excellent! You've done a great job of setting this up, perfectly composed and exposed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

WOW! What a beautiful image. The lighting on this is so superior to most of what I've seen so far. It gives a truly 3 dimensional look to the image. The focus is dead on and the DOF is fantastic -- just shallow enough to blur the background, just deep enough to get the flower and its spikey leaves. This will certainly finish among the top 10.

attractive, very sharp and detailed, good topic. I would have preferred a much tighter crop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

when your talking about quality of light / photographe etc nto many stand out - but this in my terms is great and what i want to see more of! Great use of DOF and superb focusing.

The subject and composition don't really get my vibes going - but then that is quite hard for a flower shot!

Technicaly this is easily a 10.
