I'm sure you will get plenty of more technical commentary, but on a purely visual note I like the way the background in this shot builds up a dark green backdrop for the bright green stem, giving it an almost monochromatic feel. I think think it also makes the yellow flower a more special feature than it would be if the bg was any other color.

Thank you for the comment, I'm very interested in the feedback, one should never stop learning, & I try to step back & get other opinions. Thanks .
