The flower itself would likely be better viewed from a more top-down perspective, but this is a nice change.
Had the background been fully blurred by DoF, I think it would have made a much better image. I'd also have been tempted to zoom in more, just a bit.

Thankfully I now have a dSLR so for future photos I can have a more blurred background... That was about as blurred as a background gets for most point and shoots!
As for zoom - I can try cropping it some, but I think I actually like it the way it is. That's what makes photography art, though - different opinions from different folks, right?

Very nice photo.

Thanks! I actually don't think I did any post-processing. I rarely do, because, mostly, I'm lazy... If I'm going to print something I may, of course, if it helps.
BTW - are you John I know from Carbon Leaf by any chance?
