I think this is one time when a centred subject works. Nice shot.

I like the soft focus here but I would have either tried blurring the area that is in focus a little more by moving back and keeping your focus point the same or going the other direction and getting more of the flower in focus by bumping the ISO up to 400 to compensate for stopping the lens down to F8 or F9.

I think the color and composition is great nice eye.
