Last of the coneflowers, surprised to find it so late in the season about a month ago.

Lovely coneflower and bud. Good background softness with sharpness on your subject. I wonder about that partial leaf Ravi. Its a small thing but you might consider taking it out, It leads my eye out of the picture a bit. Small nit.

Ravi: I always enjoy finding a mature flower and a bud close together. Really good DOF management. I don’t really have a preference for with leaf or without. Well done. >=))>

Works as is. If anything a little more space on the bottom and top might balance the image. For me, a great image as you presented it.
