Thanks krenka and tycooder! The 50mm is fantastic for stuff like this and it really helped separate the center flower from the buds all around it! It was a favorite of my friend who's garden I was at when I took it too!

I like the contrast in the colors and the fact that you have a full open bloom surrounded by buds. Well done.
