G'day,
This is really sharp and clear, the edges of the petals are crisp and the textures are well captured. The direct sunlight tends to produce extreme contrast between shadows and light, I tend to prefer to photograph flowers on overcast days or in indirect sunlight, tends to intensify the colours and avoid the harsh contrasts. The hand holding the flower is also really sharp - in terms of composition you need to make a decision, flower or hand or both? At the moment the hand is so clear and so much part of the image it's distracting, but if you decided to make this a photo of a well lived hand cradling a young flower you could make use of the presence of the hand creatively. The flower you picked is perfect, not a flaw on it. Nice work. :)
Peace,
Mikel.
