 I have two of these. The other is landscape which seemed to give more elbow room, but this is the one I prefer

As I am here to learn, I would appreciate any comments and suggestions... good or bad. Thanks

This is a good picture as is. Some, minor adjustments and it could be great. My suggestions would be: sharper focus on the flower, maybe a graduated background from light brown at the bottom to darker brown at the top to help keep the eye focused on the flower and not follow the line of the stem straight out of the picture, greater contrast between the browns in the flower and the browns of the background, and a border to hold it all in. Not sure you should even do all of that, but just some ideas. Good luck!

Very good Dof used on this shot, the detail of the flower is very nice and the sepia tone of the image compliements the photo nicely. Maybe just a tad of sharpness to make the flower stand out a bit more against the background would be good.
