Nice image. I love the crisp sharp flower against the leaf. I would crop it a little on the left although I do like the asymmetry. There is quite a bit of artifact in the background. I'm sure that will be easy to correct.

Kumar: Welcome to the finest Flora gallery on the planet and thanks for a fine first post here. I especially like the light, color and BG. I might crop this a bit from the left to perhaps 5:4 ratio. Great to have you aboard and looking forward to more.>=))>

Kumar, I would crop a little off the left side. Also watch for merges such as the BG leaf with the bottom of the flower.
