Full-on colour and a dynamic, frame filling image, Bruce. If the polarizer has added some warmth it's done its job beautifully !

I love the colors of this, and the square crop works very well for this subject. I also really like the light-on-dark and dark-on-light petals contrasting throughout the frame. I don't know what side you cropped off, but there are two petals just touching the left edge of the frame. It might be nice if those had just a small bit of breathing room in the frame.

I missed this beautiful photo, an explosion of burned petals. Splendid.
