Hi greetings from the CC
The biggest flaw with this photo is that the little yellow part (stamin, i think it is called) is out of focus and the light on the petals behind, the 'white light; is too distracting from the 'focal point' of the image.
Generally with flowers you need to get the center part tack sharp.
What I do really like about your shot is the black background, helps your subject stand out, makes the color scream 'wow' and makes the whole shot dramatic.
hope that helps!

| I absolutely love the idea for this shot. The shallow DOF is great, though I think it is a little too shallow here since the very tip of the stamen is out of focus. The frame feels a little intrusive to me. If it were backed off to within 5 pixels of the side I think it would look better. |

| Nice macro! I like this point of view, and the light used. It might be good to have had the entire central stamen system in focus. |

| There are a LOT of macro shots in this challenge...as expected. For some reason, I really like yours. I like the focus and the harsh light actually works for me. 9. |

| My favorite flower at sunset or any time of the day, even if it is "misspelled." ;) (Ibis=Bird...Hibiscus=Flower) Overall a very nice macro of the stamen. |

| On second review, I really like this more and more. GREAT dof and the deep crimson with the buttery yellow are just stunning together. Beautiful. Bumping up 9. |

| Appears that there really isn't a focal point in clear focus. |
