Hey Ed, I love all you images, but this ones not working for me. I don't care for the bulls-eye and even though I see you used f-22 it seems to needs more DOF.

Hi Ed,
The central pose can be eliminated with a slight crop. I even like the soft shadow. You may want to explore a little side angle on the Hibiscus.....as the stamen is one of the longest and toughest to get totally in focus. You may have been able to push the ISO to 400 and get f32.........but at this angle.....that still may not have been enough.

Ed, I definitely like the colors and radiating feel. I agree that the stamens look really soft.
