Glorious red, Albert! A great color combo with the green/red, too. I like the dof and the placement of the flower in the frame as well. Super shot!

Simple but effective, Albert. The reds jump off the screen, and the green bg works well to provide contrast. Maybe darken the lower corners to make a balanced vignette to go with the darker top?

Great detail and exposure. The background really looks good with the flowers.

Excellent work, Albert. The reds stand out so well against the varied green background. Hard to beat shooting on your patio.
