A very difficult shot to get perfectly. I think it is nearly there, had you been able to come round to the left a little more I think the plane of focus would have been better.
I know this is easy to say from where I am sitting, but I still think it is otherwise an excellent shot.

Thanks, I agree. I didn't use my tripod and the slope of the ground was an issue to get better angle and stable shot.

very nicely done! This is not an easy image!

Good composition and BG super smooth! agree on the DOF issue commented above

I like this a lot. Interesting critter and flower and good hard work was put into capturing this so well.
