Comment from Envision
This view really shows off the shape and colors of the petals so nicely as well as a good view of the details in the center of the flower. The tight crop and shallow dof work great too.

A beautiful blossom and a great photo. I like the sharp details in the flower and the way they stand out from that complimentary background. Great colors and fine cropping. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Linda Wetzel
I like the profile of this flower with its papery looking petals and pod like center. The deep colors at the throat appear liquid. The green background really helps the image pop.
