Inspired by the work that AB does I thought I'd give it a go..
Not in anyway natural but dramatic pictures often get a point over, although the purists will not agree.

Sigma 150mm
Controlled conditions.
60th @f8 three images stacked. Combined manually.

very nice lighting and i like the arrangement of the flowers but i think the left hand one is a bit too close to the edge and since you have room on the right...

also seeing some very heavy noise in the background, and what looks like some scribbles with some sort of brush particularly in the left hand corner, though this might just be my computer

Yes jack its very noisy when you blow it up , and I can see the circle if I turn my monitor up to about 70 or full brightness. Good test for monitor calibration !!
I ve tried a repost with Neatimage and added some canvas on the left. Good practice.
Cheers
