Interesting flower. Like the depth of field and composition. Just a personal preference: I would add a little vibrance to the flower itself to make that purple pop.

Ravi: Marvelous subject and a very attractive BG. Just the right amount of DOF for my tastes. Most excellent.>=))>

In addition to a lovely flower you captured the many different textures and detail in the stem, leaves and new buds. All the elements come together to make a great image.

Thanks Lanis, Bill and Patricia for your comments. Lanis, I have attached a rework with increased vibrance, It does make the purples pop up. Thanks for the suggestion.
