Good idea well spotted. I appreciate they are "hiding" but i think I would have moved that blade on the left to one side so it did not cut directly across (because it is in sharp focus). I don't mind the other side big partially obscured because that is soft. Hope that makes sense?

Would you have moved it for a better view or because you find the sharpness of that blade distracting?

Johnathan makes an interesting point about the sharpness of the two leaves. My answer to your question would be "Yes."
But it's a different and interesting image and can stand as is. I really like the painterly effect of the mass of leaves.

I appreciate the comment Diane. Macro is out of my comfort zone, but I will try to keep improving.

I wouldn't think of it so much as "improving" but rather "connecting." You're a very good photographer with a very good eye. It's just a matter of getting used to some different possibilities with macro -- it's a wonderful exploration!
It's an area where I, at least, take a lot of shots of a subject, bracketing things like composition (moving the camera small amounts to change the perspective on various elements), aperture (DOF) and focus point, I may not decide which one worked best until later when I view them on the computer.
Looking forward to seeing more from you!

Hi Jackie. I like the blue "jewels" mostly hidden in a forest of green and where you placed them in the frame. The sharpness of the adjacent leaf is not bothering me. I think this would also look very nice as a vertical crop - still keeping the flowers in the ROT position. Very nicely done!
