I think the flower looks real good here. The yellows looked nice and buttery - exposed perfectly to my eye. It petals and center look very sharp. That said, I'm not real fond of the two-toned background. Personally I prefer the lower right background over the upper left. But that's just my preference.
Good composition and placement of flower in frame. simple and elegant...the colors are very pleasing, and the dark green background sets it off. Good show...looking foward to your next one...:cool:
