If you notice the flower is darker in the center so if you try that you end up with a picture that looks nothing like the flower. I have tried to take pictures of these flowers and it is hard. The are so dark and any more light can make it look bad.

I think it is fine, just doesn't have the "wow" factor.

I like this and think the fence gives it a graphic quality not usually seen on flower pictures. It might be fun to take another one a little futher away so you could use the rule of thirds for the flower and get more of the fence into the shot.

Though color is good, subject appears too dark. Can be corrected with proper choice of metering mode.

Having the pink tree (which I assume is the focal point of this image) in the center hurts this a bit. Also, the sky could be a bit more saturated.

You missed the longitude and latitude from your title ;) This is a very attractive picture - the only things i might've considered changing is the crop (lose some of the sky and the right third portion, thereby focusing a little more on the purple/pink blossom) and I might have been tempted to cloned out the human. Other than that, a very nice picture, and it would appear you are very lucky to live in such a pleasant environment. 7.
