I love the left half, how the stem draws you to the flower; genius!
But the sky's just kinda...meh. I'm not one to over post processing but if you have a nice sky picture, maybe add some clouds.

Thanks for your comments guys.

Interesting idea about adding a cloud. I'm not sure I will for now though, as I am trying not to do too much in photoshop for the moment, I want to improve the results I am getting through the camera without messing too much. While the weather is so good here, I'm trying to concentrate on taking photographs - the weather will likely give me plenty of indoors time later in the year, when I can revisit shots and top up my photoshopping skills!

Really appreciate you all taking the time to offer your thoughts.

Ginger I completely understand wanting to get it right in camera so that photoshop can be avoided. I also understand having enjoyable weather and wanting to enjoy it. I think the shot is great.
