Hi there and "Welcome" to the site, I really hope you enjoy your time here.
ok about the image, not sure what it is your after apart from wanting to know if it's an ok image. Well first of all you need to think about composition and where you want your subject to be in the image. It might help you if you read up on here in the tutorials about "The Rules Of Third" which gives you a guidline to hope make your images more pleasing to the eye. I really like the colors but there just isn't enough going on in this image to form an opinion on it, maybe if you re-cropped it with the main subject flower further up towards the top right hand side and we could see more of the flower that's in the lower left side it would give it more appeal? Does that make sense ? I would love to see you re work this image and give it a little thought about where you want the eye to flow around the picture. I hope this helps and if you need any help let me know, I am always happy to help.
Thanks for sharing it with us, I look forward to seeing more soon
David.

Thanks for the replys. I was just on vacation and decided to take some photos of the flowers around the Gazebo. I'll try what you guys suggested, thanks for showing me a photo how it should be. Although its a little blury, I'll try to duplicate it and get a high res- image like that. One other thing i kinda liked how you could see the green stems() in the back ground plus how they are out of focus. Thanks again, Photo.

I made some changes in my editing software to try to make it better, and use the rule of thirds.
