I played with softening the effect of the screen, but decided to accentuate it since this was one of the very few times I didn't shoot the bloom in the wild. I get what you are saying, but on the other hand the curves of the leaves and vase along with the white (a relatively negative space,) make for what I think is a look-around composition. I hoped the bokeh of the screen with the bushes outside would corral the flower, and that's a reason for leaving the strong suggestion of the window edge to the left. I might have overworked it, but I still like it in an impressionist sort of way.
