Hi Sonny,
Very nice under the conditions and time of year. I like the way the 
composition balances with the flower off to the right. It's a simple thing, 
but illustrates  the eye and experience of the photographer making something 
out of the flower rather than a "stick camera in flower face and go click!"

This added bit of seeing beyond the obvious is missed by some folks and 
leaves a flower image just hanging there looking back at the viewer with 
nothing more re-action than, "Oh dear another in your face flower picture!" 
:-(

But then this one has the touch of the experinced professional! :-)
Good one.
cheers,
ted
