Nice bright colorful sculpture. Set off against the plain looking building to the left. Framing wise, I'd have opened up just a tad, understand if a customer framed this image, the lower, foreground petals would be cut.

I love art museums, especially when you can view things outdoors.They had a large version of a badmintten birdie at the KC,mo Nelson-Adkins museum a few years ago.This reminds me of the plant from the movie/play Little Shop of Horrors. Well done! Excellent lighting and detail.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Red, yellow, blue. Primary colors.
Indeed simple, vibrant & eyecatching.
But I suppose in this contest, the more colors, the more voters.
Just a personal opinion.
Bright lighting.
Sharp focusing.
Off-centered framing...
Thanks for sharing.

That is a nice Lotus. How appropriate that it be yellow/red. nice attention to detail. Color and contrast good. I like how the focal point is off center. Good depth.
