Hi

A nice subject matter and a shot that isolates the main stars well from the surround. compositionally I am undecided, because I feel the image lacks an area of primary focus, having both flowers competing for my eye's attention. This is perhaps a side effect of the flowing stem lines leading to the upper bloom. So my main suggestion would have been to have had the upper bloom the in focus one, and the lower flower the secondary supporting flower.

But suggestions aside a nice image that does indeed capture the feeling / nature of the subject

All the best
Matthew

Lovely light on the main flower - it glows. Matthew makes good suggestions about the composition.
