G'day John,
I think this deserves a much higher c-index, but there's nothing new in that, low scores happen all the time. This is a great photo shot. The dark green is the perfect backdrop to the yellow. Depth of field is excellent, lots of sharp edges and great clarity. Even the bugs work, reminding us it's a real flower in a real world but still astonishingly perfect. A superior photo and I faved it.

I agree that his is a very pleasing picture. The colors and values are great. I only have two suggestions to make it a better picture. One, compositionally I think that it would work better if you cropped in closer to the flower or made it a little more off center to the right or left. It looks a little static this way. Two, I think I would have tried to photoshop out the two insects on the top petal. They kinda detract from the visual impact. Other than that, keep up the good work.
