Oh, by the way, you might want to clean your sensor.
Thanks for your comments. I apologize for overlooking these two dust spots. I tried to clean the photo as much as I could (see the attachment). I'm regularly cleaning the camera sensor, but this time I was extensively traveling and sometimes I was just tired or didn't have time to maintain my camera. Regarding the empty space, I purposely left this space around the flower. The photo was taken in free nature and the flower was high above others and I decided to present it in way as I've seen it. Tighter crop wouldn’t be appropriate IMO. Definitely this photo was not designated to any ad agency. I will try to avoid any dirty spots in the future.
I actually don't mind the space on the right; like you said it gives the image an airy feel. Like your low down POV.
