Whoa. This flower looks magnificent! I really like the detail that you managed to capture in the petels...although, it looks like maybe it took a shot of nuclear power or was in front of the microwave too long....? Maybe a little less of the "radio active" look and a little more of the "soft sunlight" look... it's a fine line. :-P :-)

LOL now that you mentioned microwave. I prolly should called this NUKED. LOL
none the less I really appreciate all your critiques. Have a marvelous day. Tracey

I like your idea. You executed it quite well too. But I don't think that colour fits. first of all it's too cold. I mean, even if it's the same colour than the one in the flower I'd like warmer colour. And 'cause that yellow is so bright and saturated, the colour of the flower looks faded. Keep up working with your clever ideas.

I've never seen anything like this, very creative idea! I agree that it looks vaguely radioactive, but I think that's kind of cool. Excellent shot of the flower. Very clear and detailed.

I love the flower - great detail, and really like the idea of the outline, but might go with a different, warmer color. Very cool idea though!!

The flower is beautiful, with clear details and colors. The yellow outline is too sharp, there is not enough transition between it and the black background, which distracts from the beauty of the capture.
