I'd reconsider the busy border.

Nice detail in the flower and great Macro shot the background over powers it though
Why the yellow?

I think the border on this is excessive, and detracts from the photo. You are 'hitting voters over the head' with the title, but otherwise some wouldn't figure it out, so that's justified.
It is a nice image in of itself. I like the contrast between red and yellow.

The stamen is centered, yes, but it isn' t really the main visual element of this photograph. I had a hard time seeing it against the background. The main visual element of this photo seems to be color.

I hope people look at this long enough to really appreciate the "center" here. I love the strong colors, too. Very well done!

I like the colors and the focus but it's a stretch to fit the challenge and the border looks gimmicky

IMO the border is distracting a bit. But the picture is worth the look. A great center point.

It looks like you cut the background out. If not, then something looks wrong. I also think it's a little bit too saturated.

I like the composition though.
