Edite - this is beautiful! The colours, focus, composition, definition and framing are all just perfect. I particularly like the detail of the pollen dust on the petals. The petals are clearly a lovely velvet texture. One of the best flower pics I've seen here.

Well done! Can only give you +10

Wow, beautiful shot!!! Amazing coulours This flower looks very soft! Well done +5/5

a lot of detail and beautiful colors

Hey nice picture. I don't see why not performing any adjustments with photoshop is a good thing - sure, perhaps if you were using a film camera it might be testament to your ability, but in my experience digital photo's are in one way or another less than optimal. Sorry, but whenever I hear people say this I immediately start viewing the picture as "not as good as it could have been". Nevertheless, good work 5/5

Beautiful red colors....Wonderful details.....top marks Edite!!! +10/10

Okay, this is just freaking weird. I just posted a photo titled "Passion" too yesterday. Really weird
I love your version of Passion.
Really really an AWESOME macro. And I used the same cam for my "Passion"...weird
Anyway top maks Edite, as Carlos has said it

Very beutiful colors!
Excellent details; I can see the pollen!
I love how its not perfectly symmetrical but somewhat symmetrical
I think you went wrong with the crop
The lighting is too harshl; did you use a flash

Overall I like it though there are a few things that bother me. Possibly try cropping an inch off the bottom. Next time you photograph a flower try to take it outside. Natural light is the best light to use. Its often soft and illuminates the flower in a beautiful way while flashes can be too bright and can cast ugly shadows. Keep it up Edit!

8/10

Wonderful colors and details!!

Maybe another crop would be nice...

Except for that, it is awesome!! well done!! top marks!

Yeah, nice colours. I just wish I could see all of the small petals...

great photo!!!! +10

Beautiful shot... I wonder about the composition imho, but always a nice pic !

Wonderful sharpness, colors, and contrast Edite. My only crit ... I think you should have centered the flower perfectly into a perfectly square frame.

Very nice.

Nice! Love that pink! Flowers are always wonderful!

wonderful colors you got there!! nice job!

The hard lighting really gives this flower a prensence. It feels like an explosion. But what hurts this image is the focus.
