Thanks to all for the comments. As I predicted many thought it needed more light, but this is the look I was going for. I wanted the sunset to be a little more powerful than the flower. Tranquility was what I was going for
I think some fill flash would have brightened up the lavender flowers and prevented them from being overshadowed by the more colorful sunset in the background.
Except for those little blurry lights in the background off the horizon, I think this is a fantastic shot. Oh.. and the border. I'm really not fond of the border. This shot really doesn't need one - much stronger without it. But I love the focus on one set of buds. The colors in the sky go perfectly with the subject. Really great shot.
The lovely soft muted colours are great and the border really complements the colours. Great use of DOF. Might have cleared away the messy bits of grass on the left at the front. GL
