The real ironic part of this photo is that these were the last 2 flowers on the entire plant. The plant had dried up while I was out of town for a couple weeks. This photo looks 10 times better knowing what the rest of the plant looked like. :^)
The photo is as taken. I adjusted the size and saved for the web.

Need more of the shot in focus. Use a smaller apreture setting. The closer you are to the subject the more "effect" your apreture has on depth of field.
The interesting bits seems to be out of focus. Hard to stand out in the macros with flowers/bugs crowd I'm afraid... All this imo, obviously. Good luck!
Lovely colours, but nothing in the image seems to be in focus. The image would have been stronger, I think, if at least a small area had been in sharp focus.
good dof, but i feel like i'm not looking at the prettiest part of the flower -- you know what i mean? like we're in the dark underside of it. but the color of it is way cool.
