As in many cases the larger version really brings this one to life......excellent, Alberto.

This is a very striking image, Alberto. The details in the center and that lovely bright green color are major eye catchers and they are set off very well by the surrounding stamen and the gentle reds of the petals.

Alberto, Nice light and colors, excellent detail. It is so real. I might like a bit more room on the top, just personal taste. Beautiful as posted!
