    Unknown flower with stamens and all kinds of things

    Not in my milieu, so do not spare me, I can take the heat (I think!)

    beautifully processed colors, good detail but perhaps just a tad tight on the cop?

    A difficult scene to photograph.

    Besides being a fraction tight on the framing, that foreground flower is out of focus. I would have preferred to have the foreground in focus and, if necessary, let the rearmost flower go soft. It always seems to look a bit more natural that way around. But, ideally, this was a situation which required a stack of two or three focus points to keep everything sharp.

    Rather tricky exposure but you have managed to keep that under control.

    An alternative scene might be to crop the bottom so as to lose half of the foreground red flower, so the softness doesn't notice and the main attention moves to the white flower; although the foremost tip of the lower petal is also a little on the soft side. A little bit more space at the top would once again be welcome.
