Thanks for the comments, all. This is actually a tight crop shot with a 70-200mm and not technically a close-up. The details in the center of this flower caught my eye and I wanted to capture it, and as I processed it I realized that they eye was distracted by more and more of the background objects so I cropped in to this. I'm glad it was as appreciated as it was - I don't have a lot of backlog to pick from for these deep challenges.
I agree that the dark spot can be distracting, but I didn't want to crop it out because I liked the parallel look in the bokeh, and it helped you realize the size of the flower since it is more obviously a sunflower. In retrospect I should have dodged it a bit to make it less obviously dark.

| Purely subjective, but I find the the bottom left dark spot very distracting, would of liked a tighter crop better |

| Beautiful flower shot. I love the colours and clarity and the central formation is a bit trippy like op art. |

| Excellent composition and colours, I particularly like the soft focus repetition in the background, should do well |

| Nice compromise between macro detail and garden setting elements. Should do well. |

| 8 from me (earlier) Would be a 9 without that dark center being so dark on the left competing so much. The detail you've captured is ... stunning. |
