If this is your first it's either beginners's luck or you need to do more because this is brilliant.

Wow! very nice
The only thing I dont like and this is being picky is the pink flower on the side it tends to distract from the main flower Good focus and detail nice colour

The DOF needed to be a bit larther to include the entire flower. Nice colors though.

Excellent flower shot,Negative EV exposure and spot metering might improve the busy background get darker and less distracting.8

For your first, you did an excellent job. I take pictures of flowers every day and rarely do I get something as nice as this. Your color and composition are beautiful. Your DOF is perfect and overall feel is very very nice. The only thing I'd change is the pink distraction to the left and show a tiny bit more of the main flower's stem.

The colors in the background really help, although even smaller aperture and even more diffusion provides a really nice counterpoint to the chosen flower.

Great shot for a first try. I really like the detail, the color and the out-of-focus background that makes the flower stand out. This could be an entry in the Centered Subject challenge. Good choice of crop and beautiful colors. Take more flower pictures by all means.

If this is your first flower shot it's a really great effort. I gave it a six because I'm not nuts about the horizontal format for this subject. I love the how the yellow of the stamen really zings against the green and purple.

Very nicely done flower. Color, focus and DOF are all top notch. Background is great. One of the better flower images I have seen in while in challenges.

Nice composition, the lighting is a bit stark - did you use a flash? More natural lighting on a cloudy day brings out color and texture better.

excellent beginning.

and a nice one it is... the lighting is just right with your main subject a shade or two lighter than those around it
