Hey Ovidiu,
I may have gone a hair higher.......to minimize the front 2 petals even more.....but I like this version too and the colors are fantastic! Great job with the dark areas too......not an easy flower!

Hi Ovidiu. This is a striking flower with great colors and interesting structures and patterns. The image is well done, though I agree with Roman that a slightly different camera angle to make the 2 front petals less prominent would make this one even stronger. :S3:

Beautiful vibrant color, and details on this, Ovidiu. Agree slightly higher angle may have worked better, but still very nice image and composition!
