This is beautiful, it does indeed look like a piece of jewelry fit for a queen, the golden center actually sparkles, and I like the tiny, narrow petals that circle that center.
Very nice use of the light and shadows on the deep red petals , this really emphasizes the gold!
Well focused, this image is clear, lighting is beautifully used, colors are gorgeous!
Well composed and presented!
Best wishes to you in this contest!

Super entry for the contest!! I love this composition. And the core of flower with tightly packed anthers and stamens dominates. The red toned petals are made to take a backseat. Incredible!! Best wishes for the contest

I've seen this before...oh yes! It was encased in glass and on display at a showing of newly acquired antiquities at the royal museum. It's brilliance is truly magnificent and you have captured it so well. (Smiles)
You can see the flickers of light reflecting off like sun rays from its center..I think it's a beautiful entry...right up my alley!

Steve,
A beautiful picture of the heart of this red Sunflower with the golden pollen glowing in the sunlight the smaller white petals surrounding the centre resembling a tiara. Artistic composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you very much for your review. It is some kind of daisy I think.

What beautiful mixed photography. Looks like a beautiful sunflower manipulated pleasingly. Like the sparkles and rays in the flower, the reds and blacks in front and the sides and the background.

Hi Steve!
Your mixed media photograph of the center of this flower blossom is very attractive,my friend!
It's an eye-catchingly colorful presentation that's very enjoyable to look at!

Very cool image!! I love the abstract aspect of it. It really does look like a Jewel. The deep ruby petals are gorgeous, the gold center really shimmers, stands out beautiful. Well done, nice creation. All the best in the contest
