Greetings from the Critique Club!
Initial impression: Oh yeah, I've see those around here too, nice capture.
Technical: Composition plays safe in that it is very centred. Light and dof good. Colours are vibrant and attractive. I agree that a different crop may have helped give more of an abstract feel to shot.
Artistic: I like the near-zoomblur effect here to the heart of the pistil. Like the green leaf(?) in top left corner that helps break up the centredness and draws the eye away a little.
Overall: Not the most exciting shot in the challenge, it is quite apparent what it is. But your treatment of it makes it more interesting.
Feel free to PM me with any questions,
