An image taken by lying under a single lily flower with camera in hand; this plant was a gift (thus, the title) from my elderly neighbors who both died a few years ago;taken just about as the sun was setting behind the flower...used shallow dof to only keep some petals in focus: I'm certain to hear a lot about that in the comments...but I wanted it to be a bokeh effect...crop, levels, curves, color balance, selective color, usm

What is your focus ? The lower left leaf and part of the left petal and its lower stem appear in-focus, But my eye is wandering looking for your intent.
The green bud in front of the orange flower is a little distracting. I would like to see this image with the bud moved to the side or at least with the orange petals in sharper focus...if possible with the green out of focus.
