Love this one! Seems like nice detail (very hard to tell with just a small vesion) and the comp and BG are nice. Some of your images seem quite tight in the frame to me - this one is perfect!
Are you sharpening your images also? Most digital images need a bit of sharpening, although this one seems ok/

This is a scabiosa Stephen, I believe. Nice bold comp. I might like a touch more room on the top. Nice photo.

Stephen - As Nathan said, this is Scabiosa Flower which comes in many different colors and shapes. Really love this and I would consider this as one of your best. A bit more space at the top would make this compositionally perfect.
