Hey Loukie, very cool and interesting plant. Nice DOF, and just a little hot spots on the ring of red, that can be easily clone out. Thanks for posting.

Nature takes on some very interesting forms, I would almost expect to see this in a science fiction movie. Texturally I really like the way the waxy quality of the succulent comes out.
Great post.

A most interesting flower Loukie showing great detail. Agree with Mike re hot spots.

Great image Loukie, the colors and tones are amazing and so interesting.
The hotspots are hard to avoid with a harsh ringflash on auto. Turn off the heads and leave a single one on then tape a piece of plain white paper to the head to make a softbox, then turn the flash to manual and turn the power way down. This will give you some nice soft light.
