Nice image w/ gorgeous colors with a great background. Dof seems a little shallow and it is a matter of taste. I wounder how it would look with a smaller aperture.

Simplicity is key for this image, regarding the the three colours I do not think the orange and pinkish background are complimentary or sufficiently contrasting. Sorry Ravi, this one is not my cup of tea, I also agree DOF is a little shallow, it would have been better if the all the petals and sepals were in focus.
