Very nice. I really like the way you rendered the stamen as they have this wonderful painted like feel. Great placement as the brighter center is well accented by the darker purple petals. Great entry for the contest. Best of fortune in the voting ~ Steve

An outstanding macro with perfect focus (which is sometimes difficult to do) at the center of the flower. Your contrast in the two predominant colors is outstanding.

Very nice contest entry you have here. The yellow center is exploding like a firework against the purple petals. Nice close up tight framing and composition that is displayed in great detail. Nice one. Good luck in the contest.

The center of this purple, royal, flower is exploding in your picture, which is centered perfectly to showcase this scene. The contrast between the soft petals and the sharp ends of the center make for a marvelous shot.

A beautiful and well detailed center of this clematis. I think the exposure is perfect, and the view is symmetrically framed by the beautiful colored petals.
I've always love the intricacy of these flower centers and this is a great entry for the contest. Best of luck!

Looks like a grand entry into the competition presented here! Your full and almost central composition offers us a wonderful view of your beautiful bloom! Exposure and sharpness are spot on giving us lots of detail to enjoy. Well done and good luck!

I am not sure if this is intended to be a macro shot of the clematis. It is a good closeup of the center of the flower. It is in good focus. The color is lovely. And the detail is all there. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

I have a blooming clematis just like this in my yard, and it is a fascinating blossom to watch unfold. I really like the mild mixed media treatment here. It accentuates the yellow center in all its casual beauty.
