I took this picture in a local garden in my hometown a few years ago. I embellished it with a "poster edges" filter. Although I
like it, I wonder if the color of red is too overwhelming and if combining pink with red works.

Though I don't like those artificial filters, I don't think you have a problem.
The pink stands out in the reds, even if the red is very colorful. It works for me.

Robert,
Very nice PS work with this. I love the vibrant colors. I might be inclined to crop from the right just past the 3 green stems and keep the attention on the pink/purple cone? type flower. And I don't think the red is too much for the pink - especially if some of the red is cropped away. But this is still very nicely done as presented.

I like the color combination very much myself. Although originally I was trying to imagine an alternative crop, the longer I look at this image the more and more I'm liking the overall composition. Nice work!
