A lovely flower, pretty colors - the setting is pretty, but the bright foreground leaves pull my eye. I like the look of the composition at this distance, but getting the flower out of the center would help.

Hi

My thoughts really relate to you deciding what you think the image is about and then concentring the composition to elevate that concept. So for example the others have mentioned the brighter lighting on some of the leaves, this could be used to balance the image (hence be an advantage rather than a distraction) with the right composition; and it would balance because of the similar lighting upon the flower. But to work the background values would need to be muted, hence we come back to concentrating the composition to display the image elements that are important to your vision and removing as much as possible the clutter that distract from this

Hopefully that makes dome sense to you; and if not - well just ignore me lol

All the best
Matthew
