What would help this flower photo?

Is it too busy, need cropped or ?

I'm here to learn. Thanks.

Not too busy to me! Lovely composition.what would think about a tad more light? Even without, its a framer.

Thanks for the advice Flo. I lightened it up a bit. I was afraid of blowing out the colr on the flower petals. Any better?

That's a much better composition and being brighter helps, as well.

The second one is a little washed out to me... I like the first more. Maybe something in between.

I was thinking on the first photo

Is that the original pic? I feel as if there should be a bit more to the right, or some of the bottom cropped off to make a more 3:2 ratio.

Cloned another flower in bottom right
Used a little HDR ReDynaMix to clarify and add depth\color.

I like what you have done Frenchfx. I'll have to check into these programs.

Here is the whole picture before I cropped out the weed blur in the foreground. I was actually using my 400mm on this one.
