I really like the sensualness of this image, and how you've composed each element skillfully. I have much to learn from your macro techniques. I will come back, and really study your work. The range of light in this image is fantastic.

Now, this is a flower composition worth posting in the critique forum to show others how things are done properly. Superb colors and tones and a good unobtrusive background. There's only one tiny bit that I would argue but I'd leave it for the forum.. :-) (if you're willing to do it ???)
But nevertheless it is one superb image !!!
cheers

@Roman: Wow, thanks Roman :)) Taht is too much of compliments . All I like about it is that peachy color and nice composition . I can guess what you think taht would be / should be different ..maybe too much noise , ha ?
Roman from Thunder Bay, Canada
Well, I don't see much noise, at least at this image size and I don't think it's a problem. It would help to see the EXIF data from your camera though (which is an option in your account settings).
What I was thinking actually was a bit deeper depth of field (DoF). The focus seems to be on the front right part of the petals. It would be nice to have more DoF across the flower and especially in the center where our eyes are drawn naturally by petals. You have a very prominent and unique stamen here which demands to be in focus because it is such a, well.... central and important part of the flower.
Now, take it from a guy who doesn't even know how to photograph flowers.... hm.. go figure ..eh.. ???
cheers
