Oh my goodness ! I am in love with this cherry black eyed Susan too! It's a flower that I am familiar with but have never seen one with the red.
I like the placement of the flower within the frame and the way it steps forward from the sunshine colr behind it.
The flower is well focused, it's clear to view, exposure is correct, the colors and tones appear natural. Well composed allowing a sense of its location. Well presented!
Best wishes to you in this contest!

This flower is attractive. Its colors are fascinating. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed, and adequately treated with mixed media. The colors of the shallow background emphasize the beautiful colors of the flower remarkably. The mixed media is well composed and framed. The flower is perfect placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

This is a unique and pretty capture of this unusual colored flower! I like the way it stands out from the blurred background and the detailed focus on the center. At first it appears that there is a ring of shadow on the petals but then I realized it was natural coloring. Well done and creative work!
