Wow, what a superb capture, well done. One of the few flower shots I've felt able to vote on! Excellent focus and timing. If I had constructive criticism it would be the lack of tones throughout, it's predominantly mid grey and little else, although the all important beak and eye have saved the day. You should do well.
