Hi Ken,
Good exposure, nice tonal qualities and range. Sharp and adequate depth of field. May want to consider cropping out the dark space at the bottom of the frame. The stamen/pistil leads your eye right down to it.

i agree with clockdoc..didn't really notice anything wrong with it except the big empty space in the bottom of the frame.

I love it! But like others have said - I'd crop off the empty space at the bottom.

You didn't list your settings, but if possible I would have shot it with the lens open more to have a more shallow depth of field. I find the flowers in the background to be either not out of focus enough or too in focus but blurry - I think they distract from the foreground.

I think that it is the colour of the main flower blending in with the background a bit.

The colour is good though.
