Probably Six Stamina would work as well as a title. But then there is the pistil, which makes it look like seven.

Anyway, I wanted to try the new lens my son got as a birthday present.

Just basic editing - crop, curves, USM, resize, USM twice.

Hello, and greetings from the critique club. :)

For this image I love the colours. That gives it immediate interest. It appears to be a tad on the bright side, and the lighting is fairly harsh, I would guess from a flash. The focus is excellent, and it certainly fits the challenge.

If you were to retake this photo, try bouncing the flash instead of using direct flash on the subject, or diffuse the flash. I think that would make a world of difference on this shot.

I look forward to seeing more of your florals.

The lighting on this appears a bit harsh to me and not all the image appears to be in focus. Nice colors though.

For me, the lighting is a little too harsh. With a bit more sharpness and a little less light, I would have scored it better.

Beautiful flower. You seem to lose DOF in the middle of it, though. Happy shooting.
