Absolutely delightful colour harmonies here, Ram, and a perfect capture of the petals and centre. Compositionally, it does seem just slightly squeezed into the frame - maybe your intention I guess. Whatever, this is superbly executed.

The flower sure stands out well against that lovely background and the sharpness in the center is wonderful. Are the petals truly pale yellow, they look pretty white here except for the tips, but photoshop really doesn't handle pale yellows very well.

A wow for this one, Ram! Such visual impact with the bright white against that fantastic ring of purple! Superb detail as well.
