Very nice color and detail here. The contrast is bold without being too strong. This image effectively draws attention to the focal point.

A clear Purple Bloom, and also "Purple rain" cos the flower is still wet. Like the details of the purple boom you are presenting here. That black background is helpful to make the bloom outstanding. well done.

A gorgeous clematis blossom with great saturated colors. The cropping is artful and the separation from the background is outstanding. Good luck in the contest.

Great initial impact with that beautiful colour and the dark background.
Just enough of the leaves to complete an awesome image.
Textures stand out very well with the nice lighting and DOF.
Well done!

Comment from Danrae
Wow, this is perfect, I love the details shown in the flower with the veins and contrasts of purple both light and dark. Love the pistol coloring that compliments the rest of the flower. Great dark background making the subject pop. Thanks for sharing.
