I think I was off with the lighting a little to bright on one side. Tryed to fix it in Photoshop :-) I really wanted to enter and I have been super busy, so here it is.

Wow, that really is an intense orange! I think the focus is a bit off here though, it seems to be at the top left of the image, but all the petals to the front are a bit out of focus, which in this case doesn't work all that well. I also think it might work better to not have the centre of the flower right down in the middle of the picture, but more a bit down and to one side. Something to try :) (5)
