    Looks like an Oxeye Daisy. nice close up. I prefer to get as much dof as possible when going for a close up like this, perhaps f/16 or f/22 could have gotten the left lower corner sharp. compositionally, my eyes tend to start at left lower corner and diverge out of the frame by following the petals. Could rotating the image 180 degrees clockwise improve the flow? I very much like the in-focus little florets with stamens inside going in a circle.

    Interesting Idea on Rotating the image 180 degrees clockwise.
    As a general question should we target users to look from top right to bottom or bottom left to top right ?

    IMO, flow is easier when the eye follows from bottom right or left corner to top. Rotating 180 degrees and flip canvas horizontally can make the petals start from bottom right to top left. Just an idea.

    I like the composition, regards orientation it looks good to me, my eyes generally go from left to right and I find this fits the bill. I agree a little more DOF would have been good, maybe a smaller aperture or perhaps not quite so close in and then crop accordingly. The little florets as Ravi mentioned look pretty cool, I must admit I hadn't noticed them before.... I am now going to check out my oxeye daisies

    The close up view is great. Also the framing is right on. A few frames stacked would have solved the depth of field issue mentioned. But this is still nice.
