I like the diagonal comp and the detail of the bracts. The ladybug is a plus. I think I would have been tempted to do a little judicious pruning of the yellow OOF part of the central bract.

Hi Vicky, I like the composition of this shot and there's lots of colour, textures and patterns which for me adds to the interest. To my eye the ladybug looks just a tad soft, but over all still a great image..

This is a very colourful and attractive looking image Vicky. I like your use of the diagonal from corner to corner, which creates a more dynamic composition. I must admit that the OOF parts on both sides of the diagonaal have some eye-catching distracting elements: on top the bright white line and below the bright yellow. What I would suggest is to selectively darken those areas or even the entire OOF area beyond the green leaves.
Note that the larger image provided is actually the same size!
