I like the perspective, but it looks like it's lacking contrast in the bright white of the flower.

probably my PP. I tried to make the flower pop a bit and probably made it a bit too bright. I notice that there are some hot spots in the white and I can certainly fix this.

thanks for the reply.

it also looks like you have some fringing on the high-contrast edges of the white flower and the darker green leaf background (especially down the right edge of the right flower - looks cyan on my monitor).

Get rid of everything but the flower; the background (and foreground) is so busy, it draws attention from the beautiful flower.

First be warned that flower photography can be addictive and it's really damn difficult. I've been working on it almost exclusively for over one year, and I'm still grasping.
