This is beautiful. Liked the secondary, small yellow flower in the lower-right-corner along with that leaf - provides nice balance.
Just wish the white OOF flowers were'nt present in the BG.

I like that you took this on a diagonal...it really beefs up the composition. I wouldn't really mind the white flowers in the BG if it were a little softer or more diffused?

Kaushik and Julie have said everything that I was going to say. I like everything about your main subject. But those white oof flowers in the background really detract for me. That's not to say that they can't ever work but they don't seem to here. More diffuse would be good. A different angle might help. Possibly moving to the left. I often will move entirely around a flower looking to the right angle. (And sometimes still not get it right! :))

While I am not horribly bothered by the white flowers I can see the point. I think I will fiddle with them a bit .. diffuse them and tone down the wihite. thanks for the comments ..
