My one suggestion would be to clone out the yellow lily pad on the side. My eye tends to want to go straight back on those ever-smaller pads but the yellow one hijacks my attention halfway back. I think your composition would be even stronger without it.
Lovely flower, too - can't tell if it is a bit less sharp in the center?
It really is an all around delightful image.
