		| | I think it is very pretty, and has an almost painterly effect. :) |

		| | At first I thought I might like to increase the DOF to see sharp edges on the rim of some of the petals.  Then the more I look at it the more I like the soft edges.  It gives a sort of Monet appearance to the area surrounding the stamen.  The bit of green in the corner is a bit distracting. 
 Over all great eye!

		| | There are some great elements in there, but perfectly centered compositions without a compelling reason tend not to work so well. And you have such a wonderful green at the bottom-right of the frame, that I can't work out why you didn't make more of it in your composition. |

		| | looks slightly oversaturated and the green trianlge on the low right distracts a bit...i would also try to get a higher angle to see more of the pestil...cheers |
