I do too and nice focus and composition.
I have to say though that somehow the bg flowers are not complimentary.
Could just be my taste or lack thereof.
Great texture as well as color. I think Frog may be on to something though, try cropping this into a landscape orientation ending just above that last full petal center-right (that almost touches the right of the frame).
As I was scrolling down to see your shot it cut the top off of the picture and it made a much better impression on me. The other flowers are distracting.
That hydrangia was shriveling before my eyes.
Wider F stops softened the edge of the subject. so I had to use this one.
I was thinking when I get my PP chops up, I would mask it a and apply gausian blur with a slight darkening to just that area.
I do like the space at the top. It feels to tight with the closer crop.
Look through a glass eye.
Give it a few tries.
Nothing goes right in its time.

Yeah, the space is good and the other flowers could have been great with less dof or color or something. I get the dof problem though. Gotta have that subject flower sharp.
Love the orange petals. I'm also undecided bout the bg flowers. not distracting, but def not adding. i like Jets idea about the horizontal crop totally eliminating the top flowers. Looks great and minimilist when I tried it here
Good stuff, Snoid.
