Taken back in April.

This is pretty pathetic, Curtis. (In the sense that it makes you feel sorry for the flower, not in the sense that it makes you feel sorry for the photographer.) The white against the deep green is cool. The translucent petals are intersting.

I wish the background were a little lighter and the pine needles weren't on the leaf.

I agree about the pine needles, but I'd darken the BG just a little more. I like the sharpness and the way the plant and flower pop out of it's surroundings.

Curtis, this does have feeling to it for sure. I like it and think the suggestions above will make this a tad stronger. I can see one of your poems along with this one...

Get rid of those needles and I think you have a winner. The other suggestions could also work but I like this one myself.
