thats an unusual flower, it seems a pretty colour, but for me there is just a lil too much glare on the petal, i wish it wasnt quite so blown out, if ya know what i mean. other than that good job, i like the out of focus flower in the background.
A pretty flower ... great detail & DOF. Like Jan mentioned some areas seem to be blown out ... I know how challenging it can be capturing dark pinks / reds in certain lighting conditions. The flower appears to be tiny ... personally I would have focused & zoomed in more on the flower itself or got somewhat closer to the subject. Otherwise, fantastic capture Randy ... the angle is perfect. I like!

The flower is as usual very nice with soft petals!
Thnx for sharing!
