Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Superb macro.
Intense color contrast & saturation despite the subdued illumination.
Dark backdrop pops out the warm petals beautifully.
A great initial impact. Nice interesting subject. Excellent POV & DOF...Harmonious colors. Impressive lighting, focusing & framing. Thanks for sharing...

This is a beautiful shot of the flower. You have framed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

a wonderful macro capture of this pure yellow gerbera flower with sharp focus;
I like the angle used and partial framing;
