Here is a cluster of flower buds i found while walking around our apartment this evening. Apparently it is called match-stick flower (Aechmea gamosepala)! Its colors looked very attractive. Appreciate your views and comments.

Very nice, Ramesh! Personally, I think it could use a little more room on the right side of the frame because it feels a bit tight between the flower and the edge of the image. Love the pop of color and lightness against the dark BG and your DOF seems perfect.
The pale blue and pink go so well together against the blurred BG. I especially like that you caught the little details/hairs on the plant. I like the angle of the flower. I see Jules' point about the crop, but like it as is also.
