Ah, I wondered when we would get some colors from the other side of the color wheel (yellow, red, orange). These flowers are just so beautiful and interesting. I like your POV to focus on the interesting center and how it would look to a bee or butterfly. I also like your DOF with clear focus on the center and the petals looking painterly soft. Nice entry for the theme, Rick.

The POV and the colors are wonderful But, the right side of the photo looks grainy on my monitor. And there seems to be a yellow halo on a few of the TR stamens.

The details here are excellent and interesting. Looks like you got about four of the colors in a row. Excellent macro image. I do hope the halos are reversible.
