I took this a couple of weeks ago in my back yard. C&C welcome.

I know what you mean,Steve. The colors are really nice here, and I like how the violet center "glows" somewhat.

Good to see you posting again Steve. I like this portrait very much. perfect plane of focus and dof decision for my tastes. Beautiful color palette. Excellent subject/ground separation and the bg patterns echo the shapes in the flower. A very fine image for my tastes. I suppose you could add a touch of canvas at the top but purely subjective.

A real interesting flower. Nice work on the colors and sharp center.
