Definitely a lot of green. Very nice capture of the crown. Great clarity and good light and shadow throughout. I do not know what this is called. A pleasure to view your work.

Comment from Snopaw
I have not idea what it is either. What does the actual flower look like? This fits the bill, definitely green and well shot. Nice and sharp and a great green bokeh for your background :)

WOW. You get the gold crown for this! 1/4"? --that's crazy! Crazy good!

I like that the bud pod you selected was in the crook of the stem... Nice natural framing.

A very fine image in subtle tones of green. I like the composition with the vertical and diagonal stems framing the bud perfectly. Good luck in the contest.
