I'd like to see thered stalk in the center (I know it has a name!) in sharper focus.
But, this is a difficult shot. You should be pleased with it.

Nice DOF but the stamens aren't quite sharp enough.

the background is distracting the overall image, you could have the lights on the main flower and not on the background

Very pretty...flower pops right out at me. good lighting and focus. Just a little too centered. Maybe could have cropped a little closer

My Christmas cactus is not open yet. What's with you all? This is georgeous. About the same color as mine. Look at the diference in yours and the other. Technically you got it on this one. Expecially good crop, in my opinion. Nice 8 PTL

Nice shot, mine is about to bloom. I wonder if this may have been better from a slight angle. DPz

I would have liked to have seen a little more light on the flower, but find it to be a superb shot. Nice job! lhall

I think that the background is too distracting. Maybe it should have been plain or more out of focus.

Not bad. Not bad at all. Color is nice but how about a little reflection on the right side.
