Ken, the composition and DOF is pretty good, but you should not cut the upper part.

I think maybe a tad more depth in this to bring the bud into greater focus and more of the top showing would really be nice. A stunning bloom at any comp.

Ken,
I think this would be very difficult to photograph. I love the bloom and the rich colors but the bud and stem as well as the bg are distracting for my tastes. I guess, I'm thinking that the challenge in photographing this flower would be isolating the bloom and I think that would be hard to do.

Ken: Beautiful subject and vibrant colors. I think the solution here would be a vertical comp including the stem and buds. Of course I have about a 75-80% bias in my shooting to vertical comps so it just may be the way I see. Nicely done.>=))>

Hi Ken Great color and B.G. Too bad, the chopped upper bud distracts. Otherwise a fine flower image.
