The composition is very pleasing, Ronald. I would probably have stopped down or pulled back a tish to get a bit more dof in the middle foreground of the petals, but this is a nice shot.

This is well done, Ron. Reminds me a little of my recent Morning Glory image posted in flora. I like the your use of the contrasting colors and the nice sharp focus on the stamen. Yes, a bit more focus would have been good, but very nice as is.

This works very well, Ronald. The sharpness of the center part (I'm guessing stamen, but would need to see more to be sure.) and how it stands out against the green makes it a nice focal point.
