A few tweaks.
I'm not sure why you chose to go +EC ... but it seems a bit overexposed to me, particularly noting the blown red channel @ the flowers. That warm (light) on warm (subject) scenario is almost always a tricky proposition as most meters are evaluating the aggregate of the RGB channels rather than safeguarding a particular one.
As to the comp, Ben's points regarding DOF, etc. are meritable, but I wouldn't rule out using the longer FL as you have. I agree that the diff between f11 and f16 probably won't make a ton of diff, but in STRONG lighting (on a longer than normal lens), I wouldn't be afraid of diffraction effects nearly as much as I would in a lesser lighting scenario, or with a WA / UWA. Diffraction starts to show up (pixel peeping) on my TS-E 24 around f11, but even there I'll shoot it at f/16 if the situation warrants.
I might suggest moving back from the flowers to adjust the DOF relationship between camera / foreground / background for a lesser diff in dof between FG/BG, but if you want both "tack sharp" from the lens, then focus stacking is viable. I've used a little bit of variable sharpening to try and bridge the gap a bit. The structure / mass diff between the FG / BG affords some opportunities to work with @ how much weighting / draw we can adjust a bit. Needs better refinement, but hopefully it presents the concept.
