Gorgeous colors, very nice framing.
Problem for me, nothing seems to be fully in focus. I would love to see the focus more forward, around the rim in the foreground.

Also, seem maybe better suited for Shallow DOF or Orange.

Haha, I knew it! I thought the same thing but I think I needed to hear it from someone else. Thanks. (I had a hard time choosing a topic to post this in. If I were to choose again, it would be Orange.)

Take it down and re-submit or just leave it and submit in another topic, no rule against from what I understand.

I agree with Beamer's observation too. Focus on the front rim would accent the ridges on the front and the curves in the petals at the right edge of the frame. Since the back side is already blurred, I don't think you give up much to do this.

I like it (with the little focused space at the right side)! A bit ambiguous, interesting atmosphere!

I like it as is.
The blur in front gives this photo a sense of flow.
Beautiful tones. :)

It's a beautiful shot... perfect for the topic. I love the deep reds!

The color is very rich, although I think it would look MUCH better if it has better lighting, or possible even bringing out the highlights in PS or something. I think it would give it a bit of a punch. I love the angle though. :)
