Matthew,

Spectacular colors and sharpness. This is a good example of a simple object made beautiful by the photographer. Of all the images of this flower I have seen, this is definetly the most attractive of the lot. I think the angle you have chosen makes the shot much more appealing. Good job, thanks for posting.

Wow this is really great! You've created a dynamic image by the use of excellent cropping, lighting and exposure. The backround adds to the image by setting it off properly. Thanks for sharing.
