Sandy: A beauty indeed! For me any hibiscus image that includes the end parts has to be sharp there and this fills the bill nicely. Really good handling of hte reds too. 2 thumbs up. >=))>

Very aptly titled, Sandy. Very attractive overall presentation. Nice job blocking the bg to isolate the flower. Subjectively, I find the colors a bit electric, and I might crop a little of the black bg at the top and right side to give the flower more size relative to the bg.

I'll agree with Scott on this one.
