Thought I'll fill-in during a slow Hibiscus week.

D800 60mm macro 0.4 sec at f/11 in shade on a cloudy day.

Thanks for taking the time to view and comment.

Lovely, if a bit dark for my taste. A rich presentation though, good as is.

Absolutely splendid image, Sanjay, perfectly composed ! I personally love the sombre tones, the fading into the dark and the deep complementary colours. Excellent !!

I love the dark richness to this. A different mood and it works well. The dark background makes it pop. I like the dof, too as the flower fades to black.

Sanjay - I think the light is just about perfect for my taste to make this very different and rich. The light is good enough also to bring out the delicate textures in the petals.

A very very minor observation is to revisit some greens left over in the LL Quadrant.
