Marc this is just popping off the page! Let me be the first to mention that this photo is so extremely sharp and clear (which I love btw) that the little stamens in the center surrounding the dark center look like stuffed olives (only not olive green)!! Am I the only person to have seen that? I must be hungry!

With all of that color.............I am drawn almost entirely to the blackness.
Super shot

Thanks guys ! Still, i don't know about this one. This flower is now dead (sigh), if it was to be redone, i'd have blown on it to get some more pollen on the petals, and framed it according to Flick' suggestion (i agree).
We'll see, sadly i'm not optimistic at all about this weekend's temperatures, and that could put my idea in the bin.

Nice macro. For me, the composition would have been a tad better with the centre stamens circle set a little higher and to the right - but that's just being finicky and in fact it would be only a fraction to give a little more dynamism.
Superb colour.
Don't replace it!

WoW! Now this is sharp all the way through! Even the individual grains of pollen on the petals stand out! And the color - yes!

This may not be a definitive entry, depending on how plans will go this weekend.
