This was in a greenhouse in Longwood Gardens (Pennsylvania). I *think* I've labeled the flower correctly in the title, but anyone is welcome to confirm/correct. In retrospect, I'm not sure how I feel about the area of focus, but... I liked the picture as a whole :)

Very nice Macro Jeff. I really like the lighting and shadows on the flower.

That is a most unusual color. One thing, in these kind of close ups, that stamen has to be focused and if it is, then the petals will be out of focus. Tough shot to get all in focus. perhaps back off from it and then crop.

It looks great to me, but I'm neither a photographer nor a botanist.

A most gorgeous shot! You even have the shadow of the stamen included. However I feel your focus is a bit off.
