Wow what a beauty. Love the detail. Amazing focus. The clarity and intricacy of the beautiful bloom is outstanding.
Yes you have definitely allowed us to see the "little" parts that help make up the beautiful flower. I wish you good luck on the contest.

Beautiful capture. Love the yellow accents to the flower . The petals and interior of the flower show up well. Lighting keeps the focus on the center. Well done. Good luck with the contest.

Looks like an excellent entry into the competition posted here! Your finely angled macro composition provides us with an excellent view of your lovely bloom. The amount of fine detail to be enjoyed by viewers is very impressive. Exposure and sharpness are spot on. Great photo! Well done and good luck!!

Well deserved!

Comment from Lucas Sizov
This is a good composition. Nice highlights on the lower part. I'm not sure how small or big is the original flower, but I like the colors. Good luck in the contest! ! !

Thank you very much for your encouraging comments. The flower is about 6 inches in diameter when folly open. This flower about half open.

Comment from GaliaG
Pity the focus is so soft and the flower is half dark, it takes from the initial impact and presentation

good angle of shot and contrast with the black background

thanks for sharing

Thank you for your critical review. The soft focus and the darkness are intentional. Tey are caused by the ligting with a torch .
