Great detail and contrast.

Beautiful bokeh. Wonderful color. I really like when the bokeh and subject compliment each other.

Well done, thanks for sharing

A great contender, Love the exotic blooms and the natural spiral. Great focus and angle, showing the prominent hairy parts. Excellent framing placement, and lighting and exposure, showing authentic colors. I only wish, a bit of an increase in brightness, to give this a six. Overall, this is still extraordinaire, but can be improve, to be a masterpiece.

Thank you so much for this kind review and rating, I tried to increase the brightness a bit, can't go too far or I'll loose the glow:))

This is gorgeous. The light is perfectly used, because the white glow emphasizes the spiral. The shallow dept is perfect. It delivers just the right softness for the background. The colors are gorgeous. The photo is exquisitely balanced and framed. Best luck for the contest.

Very nice sharp image with great details. Colors are very good and pleasing to the eye. The composition is very nice with the interesting curl of the stem adding to it. The blurred background is nice and compliments the main subject.
