This is pretty, and pretty cool. Did you add a "tile" effect around the edges? If so it doesn't do a thing for me. I think the reverse effect, i.e., go dark instead of light, would have been better. Also, there is the edge of another flower in the lower right corner which distracts me.
Overall, I think the highlights could have been brought down a bit.
Pretty flower.

I really like the detail you captured on the flower itself. I do wish that the background behind the flower was a bit darker... it would really bring out the flower a bit more. Keep up the good work! :-)
This truely is Splendid! The petals curl so delicately and the white is so creamy.These blooms look like deserts! I like the lighting and the blurred background - it seems to push that flower towards us. Nicely worked image :*>
