Hello Micky, learning all this photo scanning, uploading, resizing, sharpening can be agravating. About this image, I like what you were trying to accomplish. I myself love to take these type of images, isolating small segments of nature with minimal clutter. I guess that's why I'm commenting on this. Your vertical composition is great, with the blooming flower off center and the two out of focus ones to the right. Image appears taken in low light, my favorite lighting situation. I never shoot closeups in bright sunlight. In order to be successful in this arena, you must make sure the main subject has great clarity and illumination. Anyway hope this helps and keep shooting.
