Took this at my Mom's house in one of her many gardens. Humming Birds love these flowers, and they always remind me of a bad hair day.

Chris, I'd say your Mom has a "green thumb". That is a stunning flower. The kind you see on some of the humming bird feeders. A beautiful close view showing all those overflowing petals. The striking red color stands out on the black background. Got this in the V/B and I gave it a high score :^>

I need to catch up on things so can't comment too much. But I love all of your fine images :)

Nothing 'bad' about this shot! I have tried to capture this bloom and always the reds come out kind of washed out. You have done a superlative job of capturing this wonderful flower and you have more than a beginner's skill in photography it seems. Nice work and I love the dof.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Good contrast picture especially because of a black background. But I if it is possible hardly it was more focused in the foreground.

P.S. For earlier I apologize for my English!

Lol, it looks like a fright wig. Love the in-your-face red, it's quite lovely against the black, and the DOF is great. (In a shot like this try putting your subject slightly off-center instead of dead-center, it sometimes makes the whole more pleasing to the eye... for some reason...)
:-)))
