A very fine close up, well composed and framed, great POV and nice crisp focus. The colour of your subject is very subtle, and the stamens colour contrasts nicely with the petals. Well done.

Comment from MKFlood
it does have a lemony glow feel to this. very cool. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of the flowers closeup is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Impressive macro capture! An interesting initial impact. Harmonious colors. Nice perspective & narrow DOF. Make the stamen a little softer, my friend as it still look sharp enough in my iPad!
Excellent lighting, focusing & framing.
Best of luck in the contest!
Thanks for sharing...

It seems to be more of a 'Buttery' glow to me,my friend,but regardless,it's a really good looking picture!
It's pleasantly colorful ( of course! :) ),interesting,amd lots of fun to view!

Your post production work has made a very beautiful picture. I love the soft color and the focus in the center is clear and crisp. I like the delicate look of the petals. The shadows add a real texture to the petals as well. Great job.

I am also a flower lover and this is a great shot. The crop is just right to give all the parts in the center the look of being surrounded by satin sheets. I usually like plain b&w better but this color really works. Great job!!!

Beautiful. Well done! Love the lemony color with the brown stamen contrasting. The detail and clarity are super. This could almost be a high key photo in my opinion as well.
