Very nice. The colors look great. I might consider cropping a tad off the top and a bit more off the bottom-personal preference. Also, possibly spot healing some of the brown spots on the red leaves. Overall, though, a very pleasing photo. :toast:

What a great color combo with the touches of green and that striking yellow flower. I think your choice of keeping the flower small works well here.

The yellow flower really pops against all that red. A cool shot. :cool:

Roberto - Lovely Frame. The yellow bloom breaks the monotony of the Reds and provides much needed contrast. I also like the three leaves arranged so nicely above the bloom.

If you have some time on your hands and if its not against your philosophy, you could repair some of the blemishes on the red leaves.

What a delightful blend of colours, Roberto ! Beautifully composed - a very striking image. Like Allen, I might consider cleaning up the leaves a little - I think that would be well worth it.
