Outstanding and fabulous shot! Balanced and centered composition creates stability and relaxation. Terrific depth, rich and juicy colors. Excellent contrast and details. It should go high throughout the roof! Way to go Capitan!!!

This flower center looks indeed like jewellery made for a queen. It looks like a brooch made from gold and adored with little pearls which send spikes of silver-light into the night. The red petals seem to symbolize the royal dress. Your photo is excellent focused, exposed, and treated with mixed media. I enjoy the sharpness of detail. The brooch is perfect placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Stunning image of the center of flower which does look like a beautiful jewel. The composition is great and the lighting and focus are also done well. Great shot.

Wow, what a beautoful presentation as this looks like a piece of art as the details are so excellent in sharpness and details, in addition your background is outstanding and certainly finished by excellent contrast adjusting - so the center of this flower is even reflection in streams on the own red part - wonderful angel and close up, excellent frame choice and fantastic presentation, clapping hands

I have always claimed that every flower is a jewel in nature, and here is the proof. The center of this red flower indeed looks like one, made in gold and small diamonds. I especially like the all dark background at the top, and the hint of the red petals at the bottom.

The jewel us standing out sharp and well defined against this background, and the exposure is perfect. The colors are just beautiful.

I also like the way you have cropped the photo, and also the centered placement of the flower. A truly lovely and well taken photo Steve, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Absolutely gorgeous photograph of the close up with so interesting center of a flower.
Great colors, details and the light shinning through the red petals is so nice.
Artistic composition- looks like piece of jewelry - creative presentation.
Good luck in the contest.
