It is a nice looking flower. Do you know what it is?

It's a flower on one of my wifes houseplants, an Easter Cactus.

How does the pic look though?..

I really like the color on this one. At issue will be the out of focus petals in the foreground. The problem for me is that not counting the background, the out of focus foreground petals take far too great a percentage of the image than I would like. I would like this photo more if the dof were greater and or the angle were different so that more of the flower were in sharp focus. I am just a rank amature and others will probably have a different opinion of this. I would consider either zooming in more on the center of the flower so that the petals become the background of the image or zooming out which will make it easier to keep the whole of the flower in focus.

Thanks, I'll have another go at it another day.
