I don't think I like the border on this. It might have been netter if it were yellow but it's just too much red IMO

nicely done if anything I would have liked the brightness to be turned up just a bit.

I was hoping for some more sharpness on the cluster of the stamens. Good contrast with the red and green.

Good quality tones, lighting and color and the best flower shot I've seen in this challenge, yes there were quite a few. The colors are exquisite and the quality is superb.
