Nice warm but crisp/brisk light (crisp b/c the wb is somewhat cool maybe?) and framing.
Not sure what focal length you shot at but I would have liked to have seen it longer and the aperture bigger to blur that flower in the background more.
Also would have been nice if the inside of the flower had some more direct light from the sun... maybe a reflector would have helped here.

Nice shot.

I liked the lighting and the irregular petals, shaddows were great as well. might have cropped the top flower off as it pulls my eye away and competes for my attention....Maybee
great capture

I love the juxtaposition of the two flowers. Being centrally located within the frame creates balance, but the flat angle from flower to flower might not be as dynamic as if you had used a diagonal "line" to contrast the two. Still, magnificent light and a clear, engaging photo.

The golden light is not really evident, you should have dodged the center a little to make it stand out more IMHO.

I hate to just say "Great job". . .It sounds so trite, but you really did a great job on this. It's a simple flower, but you have made it look striking and exceptional.
