Beautiful! I wish thats all I had to type because this is breath taking. The use of natural lighting just allows that flower to "POW" right at you while your looking at this. The sudtileness of the cactus really compliments the flower while keeping your DOF perfect;y blurred. Crisp clean and affectivley captured.

A nice detailed piece of work. The flower really shines out in contrast to the blending of the background & cactus parts.

Hope it fairs well in the contest.
Thanks for sharing for review.

It always amazes me what beautiful flowers cacti produce. This one you've captured beautifully. The light, color and texture could not be better. Good luck on the contest, this is obviously a winner.
