Prashant, to have images from Flickr show here, you have to click on the 'share this' drop-down menu and get the BBCode. They give you a bunch of text to copy but you only need to copy the section that starts with and ends with

I think this has too much empty space on the top so I would crop a bunch from there and maybe a little from the right so you can move the flower closer to one of the ROT positions. I also think you could have gone with a slightly smaller aperture without wrecking the nice BG. The flower is close to being completely sharp and it wouldn't have taken much more to get it all in focus. A few modifications and you could end up with a wonderful shot! :)

Hi Prashant,
Welcome to the forum! I agree with Ken's assesment......getting this one tighter would make this much stronger. Thanks for the tip on flicker uploads Ken too!
