Brian, the shot looks to centred for me. I would like to see a bit more of the stem also. The red looks fine to me.
Cheers Ole
Nicely done on the capture of red and the floating look.
Yes, it looks like floating
Maybe crop a little tighter and go 4 x 5 or square? Then the centered subject would look better, although still central.
Potential over exposure/saturation issues have been well constrained.
