I like how the slight swirling motion of the petal lines draws you into the center. It could be a little sharper, though. Has a slight oof look.

Nice!! Love the spiral lines and the colour. Composition is also good. It looks a little dark, though.

Is that flower still to hand? It is a great subject but, as noted, the sharpness and exposure don't quite seem to do it justice. Don't take one shot - take ten or twenty, with minor variations and see if you can get one that betters this.

Nothing seems perfectly sharp so you may need to make adjustments to allow a faster shutter speed or put your camera on a tripod or other support (I don't know what control your camera allows).

If you could somehow illuminate it from the back it might improve your shot...however the composition is really nice.

The composition is good, but this image lacks sharpness. Also the brown background peeking around the flower hardly does justice to the flower itself.

Thank you for the comments. Unfortunately, at this time of the year I am unable to get hold of the flower and cannot have a re-shoot. But whenever I get the chance I'll jump on it.

Did a little processing...

Better is it a little?
