Thank you all for your comments. This was my first submission; finally I got myself to do something to get over the hump.

The stamens are well composed and exposed. Macro does not allow more DoF - so a pat on the back.

Would of loved to see a larger DOF since the peddles of the flower takes up 90% of the photograph.

Very fine picture, but I think it would have been even better had you cropped out the top 20% of the picture not only to focus on the stamens, which are the point of the contest, but to improve compositional balance.

If the title was "Flower" or whatever - this would've been a "part". When you named it "stamen", actualy we can see the whole stamen, not its part. But on the other hand I know, the topic wasn't described clearly :) The colours and composition is good. Maybe a bit tooo much blur in the background, but I'm not sure. 6.

nice macro, like the colors, especially the underside of stamens which your good crop brings my eyes to.
