Nice lighting. I like the way the upper stem sort of fades into the background and the upper flower is sort of floating. If you could have moved the upper flower to the right just a bit, the two of them would have been at "rule of thirds" intersections. 6

This is how to shoot a bloom! Stunning color and contrast, wonderful shapes with the stems.
