Blooming 2.0

This Picture was shot during my photowalk on our backyard garden. I notice that there is a freshly bloomed flower. So I took the shot with my camera.

The background is bright and distracting. It makes the subject look drab and unimportant.
Need exif data to comment further.

thank u for the comment.. I used lense kit 18-55 mm. It is just an attempt to comply a macro shot using a lense kit.

The problems in this image is not the fault of the kit lens.

You can't do macro. But you can do good closeups. You are limited to the minimum focus distance of that particular lens.

The angle of your subject was pretty good. The background is very important -- yours is too busy and distracting from the subject. You need to look at how the light is affecting the subject. Use a tripod when possible. Take many pictures changing the aperture for control of depth of field. Shoot manual focus. Take different exposures by bracketing. Learn to use and read the density curves in playback mode.

Important: learn a good program for post processing.

Keep practicing.
Research and/or take a course if any of the above terminology is confusing.
