Beautiful. I'm not sure if I want to see a little more of the petals and a little less of the stem at bottom, or if I like it the way it is. This composition definitely works, though.

Really striking colors and composition. Quite flame-like, even with the green bits.

"Just" a flower but so much more. Incredible detail, love that you filled the frame, great lighting and colour.

Cool. Looks like perhaps there is a light from inside the flower as well to give a nice glow.

I like how the colors just burst up. I wish there was more of that, and less of the stem here. All the same, it's a good shot!

As I said, I did remember this off the top of my head, so it stuck in there after looking at it and it also struck me a bit when I saw it, but not enough to originally make me comment.
I like all the texture you've got going on, and the light on the leafy bits is really quite nice, as it sculpts them very well. I like how three dimensional the whole thing feels. I also like how the petals sorta blend together, they look much more ephemeral in comparison to the green parts. Your choice to go with a photo of a flower that is largely not flower is interesting, but I like it. It's nice to see flowers from ways we don't normally. It's a very nicely done floral shot, in my mind.
