Manual Mode, Autofocus since I could not get under the camera to do this shot. Resized in Adobe PhotoDeluxe and sharpened slightly. Otherwise, unedited.

Subject could have been okay but composition weakens the photo substantially. Leaves at the bottom and the flower itself lead the eye out of the photo. It feels too tightly cropped on the right. Bottom part of the league tables IMO.
5. Had you captured the flower completely, I would have given you a 6. That aside, the subject matter is a bit dull but the composition is quite good. Thank you for not putting the flower dead center.
