i like this one a ton better, ovidiu!! if anything, i would like to see a little more on the bottom. great exposure and love the sharp stamen. nice job!!!

[Katie Rupp]

Oh yes, I agree with Harold, this is a beauty and I can feel the texture of that stamen. Congrats, Ovidiu!

[Lance Peters]

Ditto - this one is better IMHO - Lovely soft purpples and deep orange/reds.
Exposure looks spot on - agree a tad more space at the bottom.

I third the opinion on being a lot better. Excellent composition, i like how it fills the frame.
Congrats

I couldn't choose between the two images. They are both great! I love the contrast between the dark petals and yellow centre in the first, and the contrast between the orange and purple in this one. The composition is great as well, and I like the fact that you can see the edge of some of the petals. The detail is fantastic as well!

Oscar :)
