Hi Johan,  
that looks beautiful. The DOF is great, the flower stands out nicely from the background. I love the painterly look.  
Well done!

Yes, beautiful, with lovely colors!! The petals have opened up to give a great view of the pistil and stamens and the BG color works very well against the reds.
