Red Spikes

Went to the US Botanical Gardens last week. I have no idea what flower this is, but I like to the red spikes.
D40, AF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED; 90mm, f/5.6,1/250, ISO 200.

I like the idea of this Charlie. Have you played around with any crops? Perhaps taking a little off the top?

Thanks - here's a cropped version.

Wishing I had shot at 1/125 and f/8 to get a bit more DOF; not having a preview sucks.
