Greetings from the Critique Club!

Very nice, delicate shot, gentle lighting, the touch of green in the upper left offsets the background and colour of the flower perfectly. Your technicals are pretty good and I can understand the need to jack the ISO, but if you have a tripod handy, then you can go for a much slower shutter, which would further help bring out details.

Personally I would really like to see that foremost flower a bit more in focus. I suspect a little bit of camera shake, which again a tripod would eliminate.

Hope this critique has been useful, feel free to PM me with any questions.

Lovely shot. The main thing I notice that is "out of place" is the green blur at the top left corner of the shot.
As for the main focal point, there is nice detail and decent focus. The water/dew drops add for a little more interest. Would have liked to had seen the front flower a little sharper/crisper.
But very nicely composed and shot.
