Like the chocolate and cherry colors since I just have a Diet Dr Pepper Choc and cherry coke in front of me (not joking). Actually I like your image better than the drink.
Exposure is good also.
I would crop out the stem and elminate the spider webs, they are a little distracting. Also I like a profile or a front view with a flower, this rear view angle isnt the best.
Hey Chris, very nice sharp image and good lighting. For me I don't mind the side view look, and agree maybe the spider web should go. My suggestion would be to clone out the bud in the lower right corner, it seems to put to much weight in that corner.
