This is a stunning composition, Albert - the symmetry and the colors work very well together!

Really well done, Albert. the subtle coloring, detail and the symmetry are excellent. I can understand leaving the pollen on the petal, but there are some flecks of dirt about 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock it wouldn't hurt to remove.

Beautiful close up, Albert. The symmetry of the petal lines draws my eyes in to the center where the colors and shapes keep me looking.

Keep coming back to this one, Albert...thought it was time I left a comment. The colours, detail, lines, tones and composition all work together to make this an extremely pleasing floral image. This is a really cool frame. Honestly, I'm not much of a floral photographer nor do I have flower images around the house, but I wouldn't hesitate in putting this one on the wall! Just has an inherent quality and attractiveness to it. Beautiful.

Excellent IMHO the composition and the chromatic effect.
Good sharpness (here important, I think) but less good on the higher orange elements.
All the best,

wonderful colors and lines. The center is perfectly placed in your composition. Makes me feel like I'm falling into a kaleidoscope. Excellent work
