So vivid. I love the "veins" on the delicate flower, and the good contrast between fore and back grounds. Nice shot. Ash

Well done. Great control of DOF on this to get all the parts of the flower so nice and sharp. I like that they stand out so well from the background also. If I have to find something to improve I would say that the brown bit of dead flower in the upper left corner could be cloned out. But it is not very noticeable and overall this is excellent.

Speaking from experience as the owner of several hibiscuses (hibisci?), the beauty is the happy part. The sad part is that these blossoms only look like this for one day. Yup, curled and ready to open one day, fully open the next day, and curled and drying on Day 3. You caught these on their Prime Day! Nice shot.

Georgeous...red is my favorite color...and the black background allows you to focus on the beautiful flower. It makes a wonderful, uplifting desktop background...congrats!
