It is a beautiful flowers and you do her justice with your photo and enhancement. The petals and their color are very sharp and stand well out from the dark background. It is in the eye of the beholder, but I personally think that a crop of 1/2 on both sides of the photo would emphasize the flower even more.

Wonderful initial impact: This is such a vibrant flower in the vivid yellow and red! Well focused, clear to view, nice detail in the petals and in the center, this is a beautiful flower, well exposed, natural colors and presents well against the black background! Best to you in the contest!

Color is the word of the day! Wonderful bright colors against the dark background. The picture is just delightful. The focus is sharp letting each petal have its place on the flower. I love how bright the photo is. Thank you so much for sharing.
