    Hi Mirenchu, I love it when someone goes with a non traditional angle in a flower shot and succeeds as you did here!
    IMHO, there are 2, maybe 3 things that could be done to improve this one. First, the gray BG should be made white, maybe with a simple curves adjustment. Second, I'd try lightening the underside of the flower with SH. Third, and this is certainly subjective, I'd crop a small slice from the left side. Overall this one looks good but with a few simple adjustments it could look great!

    Hi Mirenchu. This is a very nice treatment of your subject. I like both versions, though I think I prefer the repost - in addition to Ken's suggestions, I see that you have warmed up the color balance a little which I think is an improvement. The one other tweak I would suggest, if you are OK with such things, would be to remove some of the small imperfections on the underside of some of the petals. Otherwise this is very well done!

    Nice angle and comp, Mirenchu! Love all the other suggestions...one more you might attempt would be to add a bit of the green to the top area of the stem to match the lower area. As it is now I feel that top area is a bit over exposed and is pulling my eye right to where the green stops.

    Repost looks very good! I would reduce contrast a little and maybe try to lighten up the shadows a bit to balance the flower with its lighter BG.
