I liked the different stages of the flower, starting with the purple closed miniature flowers in the middle, followed by the miniature flowers opening as a concentric yellow circle, which itself is surrounded by an almost black circle of stamens.

I agree with the previous comments, the high key element works really well to draw us in.

Martin,
Excellent shot - the colours (and colour contrast) are great and the placement in the frame very good. The focussing is spot on too.
When I saw this I thought it must have been taken by a DSLR, but no!

Thats's your best one yet !

I like the focal point of this shot. The gradual change in the colour of the petals adds to draw the eye to the focal point at the centre of the flower.
