ooooh, i really like the "crystal ball of fire" effect in the center! ditto the two tone reds!

I really like the color here, as well as the bright center. A little too soft focus for me, however. The softness looks like it might be a scanning issue?

Beautiful picture ! It has a three dimensional appearance to me, also ! Very nice color and beautifully cropped. I can't wait to read how you did it !

Wow! Very nice. I especially like the nice contrast between the dark petals surrounding the cream colored center... it almost looks illuminated from within. Nice DOF as well.

I agree with everyone so far. Nice work. I love the glowing centre. Congrats...

The light direction, low key background and illumination of the center really make this. Well done! I don't mind the slight softness of the red petals.

I love the contrast between the different coloured reds and the dark to brilliant white. Fantastic Photo!

How bold. The colors seem like it's still wet from a painting. Flowers are always had to take in macro as they are always blowing in the wind. You did a great job.
