Very interesting flower, soft light too. I would have probably walked to the right a bit more to get it off center.

Love the soft light also, I wish the leave tip was not clipped though. I would try it as a centered vertical crop.

I don't know if it was possible or not here but I would have tried to go a little lower (an little bit makes a huge difference at times) to try to get a cleaner background. Vertical and closer too.
