Beautiful flower, Krunal. Almost looks like a decoration. I like the placement of your subject. The small OOF object helps add dimension but not sure if it's a distraction or not. I think it adds to the image and I need to come back with fresh eyes and take another look.
Nice posting.

Excellent subject/ground separation Krunal. As an alternative, I might crop from the viewer's right and center the composition but I like the color in the bg as well. I like the mood of this image as well as the subject matter.

Very interesting bloom Krunal. I have never seen one of these before. I really like the details in the bloom. I think the OOF bloom helps overall.

Very cool, Krunal. I like the detail, lighting and color on the main bloom. I might be tempted as Pat said to crop the right and center the bloom but the bg bloom is also a nice touch. Nicely done.

Krunal, Several compositional possibilities exist as always. For me its sheer joy looking at these beauties from the Himalayas which I may or may not see in person .
Awesome looking flower with deep pinks. Looks like a country cousin of a Thistle.

Krunal:
Thanks for posting flowers from your region. Not seen this before and the bright color must be attractive to insects which you have included here. Like the BG but not sure about the red dot though - perhaps tone down the red in the bg slightly.

You always surprise me with new flowers, at least for me. I like the soft echo in the URC that balance very well the composition. I always appreciate small visitors of the flowers.
Take care.
