Quite a flower! One that I had never seen before. Thank you for introducing us to this unique flora. The composition is good with solid use of the Rule of Thirds on a complex subject. The use of selective focus/depth of field is also good-but it might be a little too shallow. The blur in advancing buds and receding one are fine but the right flower seems to loose its "crispness" as we move downward. For me this causes a little vibration, which is disturbing. The brokeh is very pleasing. I would like to see this image with a little more contrast. The white throat of the flower seems to be a shade grey, which may be the result of our two displays. (I haven't popped this into PS and de-saturated it yet to check for grey.) My feeling is that slightly more contrast will add a punch that will make the flowers colors truly pop! Thanks again for sharing...
