Critique Club:

An interesting flower macro... I very much like the effect your shallow DOF has produced in the background, the blurred greens are a very effective compositional device.
There are a few things that could be improved here IMO though:
For me, the focal point of this picture is the top of the flower, which is way to close to the top of the frame. I would have considered rule of thirds for this element.
There's a little too much glare on the left of the flower... perhaps you could have positioned something between the sun and the flower that would have reduced this.
The colours are a bit dull... the photo is crying out to have some colour adjustments in Photoshop to make the greens and yellows more vibrant.
