I see this a followup to your previous post. A very lovely flower. Nice lighting but one little thing which was brought to my attention by fellow members- it makes a more pleasing composition to not have the main subject dead centre in the photo.

I'm not a flower photo fan but this is really a good shot here. I dont understand as to why anyone would suggest why the composition should not be centered. I think it should because everything else is blurred. I am very curious about that. I think you did a awesome job!!

I would suspect that not centering a subject could have something to do with weight distribution... lower left corner is least heavy... upper left corner is second least weighty... lower right corner is heaviest... but as you can see from the pasted text below... it is about LIFE!
Move it from the middle
Center-stage is a great place for a performer to be. However, the middle of your picture is not the best place for your subject. Bring your picture to life by simply moving your subject away from the middle of your picture. Start by playing tick-tack-toe with subject position. Imagine a tick-tack-toe grid in your viewfinder. Now place your important subject at one of the intersections of lines.
You'll need to lock the focus if you have an auto-focus camera because most of them focus on whatever is in the center of the viewfinder.
Try it yourself
Position the subject off-center to make a good picture great! Try it yourself.
Google: center subject picture
Plus: Location is a matter of preference... and a good eye picks the spot well... check out Paul Gerritsen's owl! Before posting this, I even tried flipping the image to see if I would like it better with the owl to the left. Needless to say Paul had it right! :o)

Im a flower photo fan... (take a look at my gallery)
clear focus and great contrast and color...
one suggestion that you could shoot it at different angle..

I very much like the photo. For sure it could have been taken off-centered. But I figure if I can at least get the subject in focus I've won half the battle. So I say good job, you can worry about "perfection" later.
