Neat flower. It would look better with less background color, maybe?

It's hard taking photos of those small flowers since they're usually in cluster. If you lower the DOF, you might not get all the flower in focus. On the other hand, you might get busy background.

It's a very nice shot but can be improved by off-centering the flower.

I didn't consider background at the time, accurate focus seemed important at the time. Thanks

I thought about off-centering, this pic is a crop. They are crowded in that cluster. Thanks for your comment.
