I like this better than your yellow one, Richard. The greater depth in the petals is what makes it for me.

Wonderful shot Richard, I really like the detail captured in the pistal, stamen and petals... good job!

You really nailed the DOF here Richard. I can see just enough to recognize it as a Cacti. Even the out of focus areas work well in the scene, a must when shooting small DOF or macro. The lighting seems very complimentary. Nice work.

I'll ditto the above Richard. This is one of my favorites of yours. I like how both the position and the dof lead you to the anther/stamen. If you haven't already, this would be a great one to post to flora.
