Default Red Flower

i just found this on my computer. I took it a while ago while at the San Francisco Botanical Gardens. I really like the way the colors came out. It was very minimally Photoshoped.

Yeah, it looks like dust. But judging from the (lack of) depth of field I'd say it's on the flower not the sensor.

Yeah, the colours aren't bad, but a tighter crop might have been nicer.

I like this as well. The color contrast in the flower is very pleasing. Since the background is overexposed, and the shallow depth of field have the petal ends out of focus, I think this would look nice cropped down closer to the interesting middle of the flower.
