Note: This is a double exposure consisting of four frames. The ambient lighting was bounced and directed by means of reflector panels, and diffusers.
This is lovely lady resides in my Pops’ enchanted garden; Lady Yellow was painted with a Nikon D2x, using a Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 IF-ED macro lens, with a stacked combination of a 25mm, 12mm extension tubes.

I agree with Denise that there are some lovely colours and curves in this image, but I'm having a difficult time seeing what your vision is for the piece. There doesn't seem to be a clear centre of interest; for example the sharp shape in the upper left-middle competes with the area of highest focus and tonal contrast to the right. The dark band on the left appears out of place with the high chroma of the image, and although the chroma contrast draws the eye the shape itself doesn't contribute much visually. Overall the shapes just don't appear to me to have a compelling relationship.
I wish I could offer some recommendations and not just criticism, hopefully someone who's more creative will chime in.
