Pretty flower.
I like the stringy wispiness of the greenery in the BG, and the soft focus repetitive patterns of the buds.

Like the others, I'd like to see a bit more light on the flower, but you've done a very creative crop. Good work.

Would love to see the flower a bit more luminous but otherwise...I like it.

Very effective cropping choice! Your processing has really made the yellow pop too. Sweet!

You got a really nice shot out of your original. I like the graduated colors on the bottom leading to the nice blue. Good crop.

Oh, that is not a pretty bug! Interesting contrast to have that hairy-looking beast on top of the delicate, pale flower ...

Now that is one gorgeous flower perfectly captured. LOVE IT. The green is such a nice soothing green and the white just pops. Detail is great and the fly is a nice touch (although I'm not much of a bug person). Only one thing I would change and this is really picky, I know, would be to remove that little piece of debris on that one leaf on the right side.
