I like the way you have avoided gardening around the subject. The out of focus greenery below the flower head really adds to the overall feel of the picture.

Very clever beauty emerging out of the mist almost, this image really appeals.

As an arty shot - brilliant.
I don't think it would work so well for a flower ID book for example. ( But you do that all day I know !!!)
I have to be honest- I don't go a lot for the mushy stuff- especially when the likes of Brett lay in the grass for an hour to do it !!!
Cheers
