Sharpness and colors are good but composition and lighting could be better. I'd either go for a tighter crop to fill the frame with the flower completely or show the whole plant. Another option is to open the aperture and shoot some smaller details. As for lighting, this variant with almost absent shadows makes the flower look flat. I'd work with strobe(s) positioning it at different angles and play with exposure compensation to achieve sense of depth in the picture.

Hi

This is a nice image of this flower, with a good off centre positioning for your chosen composition – I like it

All the best
Matthew

Nice capture of this tiny flower. Fine details too.

Getting up close and personal with flowers gives such an endless variety of compositions and abstracts, doesn't it! This is lovely.

Yes, there is so much beauty in nature although I won't be fighting you for getting up close and personal with spiders...... :D
