Great Shot!

I like the concentration on the flower with the echo of form and color in the background.

I might have moved the camera slightly to the right and made the image more compact by pulling the principal flower closer to the background flowers and eliminating a bit of the green space to the left and right.

I think that the majority of the empty space should be to the right of the flower, to give the flower room in the direction it is "looking". I do like the soft background, which really makes the flower "pop".

A nice subject. The lighting seems perfect.

Very nice lighting, colours and background. Good shot!

Mike - This image has one of the strongest and most pleasant colors that I have seen. I love the blurred background and the way the two purple flowers balance the main flower's composition. One side of my brain wants to crop the RHS a little, the other side fights it! Well done.
