Nice lighting and control of depth of field. The composition is no great shakes, but it's the sort of stock image publishers choose for the first page of an article, where they superimpose text over the background. The background infloresence give that nice 'echo' of color and shape, and shows how the flowering occurs at the midpoint on the infloresence in an earlier stage of blooming. Well done.

The out-of-focus flower in the background adds interest to the picture!
