The center of this flower is very unique and you captured sharp detail that shows it off well. I like how unusual the entire flower is. Your notes are interesting too :)

A very interesting flower!I love the coloration,so nice and bold against the darker vegetation in the background.It does indeed resemble the sun's orb surrounded by rays.Excellent focus,you probably could have left a bit more room on the left hand side for the petals.A very enjoyable photo with good artist notes,just wondering how big this flower gets!

Beautiful capture. The framing is perfect. The deep darks and bright lights are perfectly captured. The detail is divine. Well frames and a wonderful shot. Nice job!

This is a wonderful shot of the flower! You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

It is indeed an impressive looking flower, and you have pictured this one so well. Good idea to add a vignette to calm down the light at the top, and when the background also is nicely softened, the flower is standing out in an excellent way.

Your photo is nice and sharp showing really clear and well defined details in all parts of the flower, and also the exposure is very good.

I like the way you have cropped the photo, and also the placement of the flower within the frame. I think this is a lovely and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.

A beautiful close-up of the flower. Love the colors. The background is well faded in order to keep the focus on the flower. Lighting is good and focus is good.

Cool,Orchidrn!
Your photograph of this pleasantly exotic flower blossom is a lot of fun to see,my friend!
There's a dreamy 'other worldly' look to it that I like a lot! : )

A beautiful picture of this Protea flower face to the sun lighting up it's coronet of apricot pink petals & a Thistle like centre beautifully framed by it's dark foliage. Artistic composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

This is one I have not seen before, it's gorgeous! You have photographed it well and from a nice angle of shot, this is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, the colors and tones are natural. Nice detail in the petals as well as in the center., I like this composition, it allows a sense of how this beautiful flower grows and it's location.well presented!
