This photo has such potential. Did you shoot in RAW format? Have you post-processed at all? If so, what did you do? I think the colors are slightly muted and could use to be brightened up. The shift from yellow to orange on the petals could be so much better with tools. The composition/cropping is very nice. Possibly a low level fill flash would help. Good job.

bldhndzgng, thanks for your comments, It was taken in JPG format, yes I did slight post-process in mid tone, hue & saturation. The colors look in this way because it was sunset time, very poor light to bright the petals.
