Nice pattern, Joshi. Softness doesn't bother me, but I do have two recommendations:

The center seems to be "looking" right, so I think the composition would work better looser on the right and tighter on the left. You could also try a square crop.
There is some dirt or petal damage just to the left and above center--this would be easy to remove via cloning or quick mask techniques.

Keep exploring abstract compositions!

Hey Joshi,
I do like Mitch's suggestions above. You do need to tone down the yellows a bit especially in the ULC . I did try an alternate crop...to help minimize the LH and RH side. I think thi shelps and also takes the main focus away from the center a bit more. Let me know what you think.

Thanks roman for re-post. i was little confused about cropping you helped it .., thanks.
I gave little more light to flower .. but i think it was a bad idea.

I am expermenting on this image with tint, warminity.. etc.. what you all think about B/w in this image with more light and more shadow..??? look different??:w3

Joshi, I like the soft focus on this one and the yellow is very nice. Roman's repost really works well with the crop and the toned down yellows. Nice work!
