Not enough detail visible in the flower's centre. Really good photo, otherwise.
(later) yes, a reflector on the flower centre would have brought out the detail you needed

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Good subject for selective desaturation (and for a Blue challenge). The treatment really shows off the interesting patterns in the iris. My inclination would have been to crop off the top part, but that would not have been as effective; the (mostly) negative space at the top somehow makes the image more dramatic.

The photo is technically well done. Focus, exposure, and sharpness are all great, as is your editing. As with most photos, lighting is very important, and could be improved here. Some of the bright spots (especially the relatively large bright spot on the iris) are distracting and could have been avoided with slight adjustments to the lighting.

Overall a nice image, one you can justly be proud of.
