I'll have to upload the whole flower so that the host understands that it was part of a flower !

I have been also disqualified for the same pretext that the image is a "whole flower", while there are quite a lot images of full flowers left untouched in the Challenge gallery. Dear host, what happened to the fair play?

Im working on it. There are a lot of entries that still need to be disqualified and i realize this. There have been a lot of entries and I'm diong the best i can. i promise by the time the challenge is over all of the entries that are whole flowers will be gone.

I don't know what really are you meaning by "no whole flower". But I just submitted less then half of a flower this time!!!!!!! and you disqualified it!!!!!! I am so disappointed for that!!!!!! here still I can see many photos of full flowers in the gallery!!!!!.... and it pains me...... however I am never uploading any image for any competition hosted by again!!!!!!! have good time.........

One must follow the rules : No stigmas, no whole flowers, and "only pictures that half the doesnt have will be excepted"...

Seeing the entries 'excepted', I expect the host is very young.

Look, Im sorry if the way i described it was confusing. what i am really looking for in this challenge are macro shots where the curves of the flower fill the entire picture, not half a flower two feet away. And if you dont want to enter any more of my challenges, fine.
