Default Whiteness

Hi,
I lkie this flower very much for its whiteness.In fact in our country people compare the whiteness of this flowers with any thing that is white. So I want to capture that flower. So tell me whether the flower is highlighted (though it is tiny) and also about the composition.

Nice picture, I like the composition and depth of field (focus).
To focus on the white, I think the subject would have to be larger, the first thing I notice is the shape of the flower!

I agree with Doctor Atomo, if the subject of the photo is this flower, then try getting closer so we can see more detail. There are lots of ways to do this: physically get closer, use a longer lens, or use a macro. Whatever way you choose will also offer different possibilities for a pleasing composition. Just play around with them.
The flower is lovely, by the way. What is it?

I agree with mapgirl.

If the flower is the main focal point you need to show this in the photo.

Try getting closer to the flower to make it the main focus point and make the background out of focus. This is always a realy good effect when taking close-ups.

The colors are nice.
Yes, getting a bit closer will render the BG more blurred, to good effect.
Good shot!
