Great colours and a very nice flower. Could have been better with more sharpness and if you could avoided the murky background. The petals lead the eye towards the left top corner of the picture, but the picture is murkier there.

Thank you, Santhosh, for your inspiring comment on this picture. I agree with you that some more sharpness would be better on the petals. As to the background, I wanted to achieve som contrast with the subject. Thanks and warm regards

I really like this shot.  I think the DOF was done on purpose for those that said it could be a little sharper.  If you look at the pollen of the flower, it is in tight focus, but the DOF is very shallow.  It is definitely an eye-catching shot, and I like it quite a bit.  I also like the fact that the flower is slightly off-centered.  Good job!
