Wow - it looks as though the sun is literally coming out of the flower and shining on the stamens. Totally awesome lighting job and composition. The yellow on the brightly lit stamens is a tiny bit oversaturated, which takes away some detail from the part of the subject that my eye is really drawn to. If there was just a bit more detail there, this would be a 10. Still, an amazing and inspiring shot. 8

Outstanding lighting...wish the stamens had been sharper. Very nice composition and macro.
