A beautiful composition and lighting, Adrienne. Given the darkness of most of the background, you might think about going full black with it. The slightly lighter streaks seem a bit of a distraction.
Good composition, lighting, and pleasing background. I prefer some background foliage so for me your choice of leaving some of the leaves showing works. Well done.
Adrienne: I’m going to ditto Pat regarding your BG. I like this as presented. My only suggestion would be to clean up some of the pollen and dirt specs on the petals. Well done. >=))>
