This hurts my eyes. Looks like a hard flower to focus on. What I see that is the best in focus are the few leaves to the right of the flower. The angle and framing/cropping are ok. I wonder if this might have higher impact though if the flower wasn't dead center. Sometimes it works ok, and sometimes you'd be surprised at how a slight shift makes a world of difference. ~Heather~
This flower has nice color... I believe that isolating it in some way to make that color stronger against the environment could possible create a better composition and stronger impact... - setzler
To me the subject does not take up enough of the photo, and the brightness of the upper left hand corner detracts from the subject. I would have tried cropping tighter. Also the subject is very centered, and kind of boring as it mixes in with the rest of the photo... Just for fun try some different crops. It's not a bad photo, it just needs to be played around with a bit more.
