I thought, when I saw this photo just now, that I had already commented on it. Now I remember, I posted this one in the thread "Pick your favorite pic from the person above you".

I like the simplicity of this pic along with the striking contrast between the red and the white against the black background. I also like the diagonals starting with the stem in the bottom left corner, leading towards the centered flower with the two parts of the flower also reaching diagonally towards the opposite corner.

Super shot 'T' and well done on your first challenge! Your desat and painting back of the colour is very natural (I'd not of known if you had not said). I agree with electina and a touch better focus might have seen this in the top 20.

Nice composition. I don't feel that the stamen is totally in focus though.
