Nice shot. I'm like you, just something about it that appeals to your eyes. You might play around with brightening it a little, just a thought.

I like it too, but it feels a bit "un-balanced," if you know what I mean. I think it's because of the BG green bokeh yumminess in the lower right corner. Have you tried cloning in a bit of that green to the lower left corner. Not a total clone job to make it perfectly balanced, but maybe just adding a bit of something, color, contrast to that corner. I see you added the dark vingette to the other corners, maybe a bit brighter and some color added to that other lower corner might help it out. It's a sharp image and I think it gathers your eye because of the flowers at the center and the DoF control used with it. Nicely done!

Awesome shot. The focus is absolutely perfect and I think the vignetting is just right. I'm 50/50 on the green part of the background. It's a tiny bit distracting, simply because every other corner is identical. No real issue.
