Nice set of colors especially with the small amounts of green/yellow. I also like the sense of flow generated by the curved pistil.

Bob:
Like this one more than the frontal view shot. The direction lighting here is also more interesting. Love the curls in the petals and the undulating pistil. If you have more canvass, a slight 5 deg CCW rotation may be another alternative.

I like the composition Bob and I particularly like the lighting. Lots of presence in the subject. No suggestions on my part. I like it as posted.

Fine composition, Bob with lovely, contrasty lighting ! The composition leads the eye beautifully to the tip of the pistil - I just wonder if a touch more light on the beginning of the stem to the L might be good ? Whatever, this caught my eye immediately - a fine image.

It's almost three dimensional, esp in the larger version. Nice exposure and light control, Bob.
