With Auto settings i got this shot..i think i should have gone even closer got composition out of proportion and with out cohesion, second problem was that wind wont just stop swaying the flower (Any tips to capture moving objects like these-May be movinbg the camera along???)

Um, I feel that the flower is not in focus.
Maybe setting the camera in Macro mode would have helped?

Yes u r right...but the camera was in Macro Mode

well if you where using a tripod i dont really have much to say besides maybe hold the stem of the flower outside of the shot. but at 1/3 shutter speed not much is easy if you are using your hand.
