Lana, the diagonal composition and square crop work well for such an image. The background if often a challenge in these situations. In this case it is. toning down some of the bright spots in the background can improve this image. Also bringing out some details in the flowers can make it more interesting. Perfect backlighting on the leaves.

Hi Ravi,
thank you for your feedback! Took this image as single exposure in harsh light. Looks like I need to go back to get this beautiful plant flower details at a later hour.

Lana: I actually like this pretty much as presented. For me the bokeh in the BG works fairly well with the bright one at the very end of the flower being the only one that gets much of my attention. Well seen and nicely captured. >=))>
